If you believed everything you saw on Sophie Cachia's social media accounts, you'd think that the Aussie blogger has everything under control. In fact, with pictures of gorgeous hair, glowing skin, and top-notch outfits, you would think the 26-year-old is nailing her second pregnancy.
But after posting a particularly stunning picture of herself on Instagram, The Young Mummy decided to reveal the truth behind her photos.
Telling her 149,000 Instagram followers that she felt as if she had deceived them, the Melbourne mum confessed, "I'd had a spray tan, one that's now manky. My hair was curled, it's now sweat-infested in a knotty bun. I had applied my 'glam' makeup look that takes 30 mins and I had big sunnies covering half my face."
She also said that the camera angle made her look thinner. "#instahubby worked some magic that day by nailing it with the first pic," she added.

Cachia went on to say that most of the time she is just like every other pregnant woman struggling with a huge bump.
Posting a collage of photos of herself looking less glamorous, she wrote, "I'm a 33 week pregnant extremely uncomfortable woman, one with furry teeth, I have a bikini line that I haven't seen for over a month … in desperate need of a good wax and owner [of] a smell of sweat that I can't quite figure out where it's coming from.

Cachia also notes that she hates it when followers say that they wished they looked like her.
"Every person's body is different, everyone's pregnancy is different, and the LAST thing I ever want to seem like I am is the person who makes everything look OK all the time," she said.
