Although Vanessa Kirby has never given birth, there have been rumors of her being pregnant.
These rumors started during the shoot of one of her movies, Pieces of a Woman, where she portrays the character of a pregnant woman, Martha, who loses her baby.
While signing for this role, Kirby was afraid she would disappoint all the mothers as she had never given birth.
“I know nothing about giving birth. And I certainly don’t know anything about losing a baby. And those things scared me because I thought, if I show it wrong, I will disappoint every woman who has given birth,” the English actress said.
We see a lot of men dying (on screen), but you don’t see a lot of women giving birth.
Kirby added
To prepare for this role, Kirby went down to research, watching many movies and talking to women who had given birth and women who’d had miscarriages.
Vanessa’s continuous visits to midwives and obstetrician-gynecologists at a London hospital and some images of her with a faux bump sparked rumors of the actress’s potential pregnancy.
The truth is the Fantastic Four actress is yet to experience pregnancy. But!!!!

Antara allowed Kirby to witness the birth process of her child. Experiencing the six-hour labor “changes me profoundly,” Kirby said. “Every second of what was happening to her, I just absorbed.”
The British actress witnessed that the woman’s “body was taking over and doing it,” which helped her prepare for the scene.

As per Vanessa, it was probably the “best career experience” she ever had. Growing through intensive preparation for the role and putting her heart and soul into the character, she now kind of feels like she has.
“Whenever I see a pregnant woman now, or someone’s telling me that they’ve just given birth, I smile.”
