Like many pregnant women, self-described “letter board weirdo” Maya Vorderstrasse enjoys sharing her maternity milestones on social media. While most moms-to-be opt to document the pleasant aspects of pregnancy, Vorderstrasse’s hilarious photos give an honest account of her experiences as an expectant mother.
From “flaring sciatica” and swollen feet to an insatiable appetite and exaggerated mood swings, the comical series of photos captures the not-so-nice side of pregnancy. Inspired by the ample collection of pregnancy posts on Instagram, each picture shows Vorderstrasse posing next to her letter board, which shares how far along she is and details her prenatal progress. Rather than list cute quirks like baby measurements or peculiar cravings, however, the board details the aches, pains, and inconveniences that expecting a baby often entails.
Fortunately for Vorderstrasse, her due date countdown came to an end mid-August, when she gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter. And, while being a parent to a young baby (and a one-year-old!) is tough, Vorderstrasse has shared that she is now over “2 weeks postpartum and kicking its butt!”
In a series of funny pregnancy photos, Maya Vorderstrasse offers an honest glimpse into life as an expectant mother.
She has even continued the series following the birth of her daughter.
