Mum's 'Instagram pregnant life vs real pregnant life' post is relatable and HILARIOUS

Instagram is a great way to share photos with family and friends, and to stay in touch with loved ones.

However, like the rest of us if we're being honest, many bloggers are guilty of only showing off their good side (not that that's a bad thing), hiding the reality of life… greasy hair and all. 

And while there is nothing wrong with it per se, it can be quite disheartening to be constantly bombarded with images of perfect lives; lives that we all try to live up to. 

Which is why we cannot get enough of blogger Anna Strode, a mum of twins with another on the way, who posted a picture of the reality of being pregnant. 

 

Instagram Pregnant Life VS Real Pregnant Life…  I'm all about BALANCE! Sure, you might look at my page and see images like the left and think this mama works out all the time and she must eat healthy all the time… Well I'm here to tell you NO that's not how things go and I don't believe anyone should live without a little bit of life's indulgences! The image on the right (that Rhett so glamorously snapped ) represents me a few nights a week and I think it's just as important to share as the one on the left. I'm a REAL mama, with REAL pregnancy cravings and REAL battles of accepting how my body changes throughout life's journeys. We've only got ONE life – I encourage you to find a HAPPY, HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE BALANCE

"Sure, you might look at my page and see images like the left and think this mama works out all the time and she must eat healthy all the time," the mum wrote under two pictures, one of which shows her looking her very best while the other shows the hilarious reality of motherhood. 

"Well I'm here to tell you NO that's not how things go and I don't believe anyone should live without a little bit of life's indulgences!"

Here, here, Anna!

Explaining that her husband, Rhett, took the picture on the right, the fitness blogger said that it was just as important to share that one as it was to share the one on the left.

"I'm a REAL mama, with REAL pregnancy cravings and REAL battles of accepting how my body changes throughout life's journeys," she continued to her 78K followers. 

"We've only got ONE life – I encourage you to find a HAPPY, HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE BALANCE."
