Sophie Cachia, aka The Young Mummy, has shared the hilarious realities of going to Derby Day while pregnant in a relatable post that has fellow mums-to-be sighing in agreement.

In a post to Instagram the 26-year-old was candid about what being “Derby Day ready” means when you’re 30 weeks pregnant.

The blogger, who is pregnant with her second child, said while she’s “really excited and appreciative” of attending, it’s just not same as going along sans baby bump.

“I kind of have FOMO for the day, even though I’m attending, if that makes any sense?” she said.

“30 weeks (pregant), skin tight dress surrounded by gorgeous women, high heels, being designated driver and no cocktails for mumma – all going off 5 hours sleep.

“I am heading there about 12, let’s have bets as to what time I’ll be home snuggled in bed by. Or snuggled in a corner “passed out”.”

The mum said that the “hardest part” of dress shopping wasn’t finding a dress appropriate for her baby bump, but finding one that “fit the mumma juggs”.

“I’ve hit the stage where it’s not just my belly that appears to be pregnant. Apparently I have a baby growing in each boob, one in my neck that’s protruding through my double chin, and I’m guessing by 4pm today my ankles will have joined the up the duff club,” she said.

It seems many, many mums can relate, with commenters posting words of encouragement.

“So relatable! I’m not going this year because I couldn’t find anything that fitted that didn’t look like a Moo Moo,” one commenter said.

Another wrote: “I am 34 weeks pregnant with my first and I appreciate hearing your honest account of pregnancy because I’m feeling all these things too! There’s nothing like noticing all the gorgeous people around you and not feeling in control of your own body”.

The Young Mummy later shared a photo of herself frocked up and looking gorgeous, like many other celebs and personalities today.
