‘Can’t see my feet’ – Mum shares some hilarious pregnancy updates

Maya Vorderstrasse has a rather dreamy Instagram account where she shares snippets of her life with her partner and two children.

Recently, the main focus has been her second pregnancy as she's shared her progress along the way, with some of them proving laugh out loud funny. Since sharing the images, she's given birth to a daughter, Hazel, but it's only now that her funny captions and hilarious pregnancy updates are being noticed. Case in point, at the 35 week mark (he really should know better).

Chatting to The Huffington Post, the mum of two explained why she decided to share the funny messages.

"Honestly I was so tired of seeing motherhood portrayed as perfect, flawless, and effortless on social media, because I never felt like it was like that for me. So I embraced my chaotic life, and decided to share it with everyone in the hopes of helping other mothers realize that it’s okay to not have it all figured out".
