Doula Domino Kirke Shares Trauma of Miscarriage
4 Sep
Summary
- Kirke experienced a second-trimester miscarriage while supporting another birth.
- Her marriage faced severe strain due to two consecutive pregnancy losses.
- She now offers support to caregivers through a new online community.
Domino Kirke, a singer and doula, has spoken candidly about her experiences with miscarriage to help others. She shared that during a period of intense personal grief from a second-trimester miscarriage, she continued to support other expectant mothers. This dedication to others, stemming from a childhood coping strategy, began to negatively affect her own health and relationships.
Kirke revealed that she and her husband, Penn Badgley, faced marital difficulties after enduring two consecutive miscarriages. The couple welcomed their first child in October 2020, and later, in August 2025, they welcomed identical twins. The journey through loss inspired Kirke's song "Mercy."
She admitted to not fully processing her grief for months, only allowing herself to break down during a doula training session. Now, Kirke is launching an online community and a nine-week program starting October 6, 2026, aimed at providing mentorship and support to caregivers to help them manage trauma and prevent burnout.
