Yummy Mummy... putting the Mmm back into motherhood


ON the face of it, Liz Fraser looks like the archetyp­ al Yummy Mummy. So who better, to


listen to as Moth­ er’s Day approach­ es? ■


■ Liz says you


a- ' i r


don't need to be a wealthy celebrity with a nanny and a personal trainer to be a Yummy Mummy-and she's written “T he. Yummy Mummy's Survival Guide” to prove it. > ''I wanted to .


redefine the term ■ Yummy Mummy," the former TV pre­ senter says. "What percentage of the female population can buy a Bugaboo pram and stroll around Notting Hill shopping all day? About 0.01%! What about the 99.9% of the rest of us? Do we have to look fat and frumpy and wear

ugly clothes? Not ’ : -; at all!" According to Liz,


a Yummy Mummy is "the ultimate modem woman" - a skilled all-rounder who refuses to iden­ tify mth the tradi­ tional, dowdy image of mother­ hood. When she


became pregnant with her first child . at the age of 23, Liz says she was shocked at the grim view of a mother's lot. "My old preg­


nancy books ' seemed to imply that when you got pregnant you had to wave goodbye to the old Liz and that you would become, this wonderful super-maternal per­ son. : "I thought, whoa,


I'm 23,1 don't want to be flabby and saggy, I want a flat stomach and to look good and to have my friends round. I'm not con- ; tent to sit at home. "I wrote the book


to make mother­ hood an enviable, respectable thing. You can go out occasionally, you can see your friends and have a good relationship." Three babies

own guide together after being inspired by other Yummy Mummies. "All being a ■


Yummy Mummy means is that when you become a mother you don't have to give up who you were before. I want to show peo­ ple that it is possi­ ble to look after yourself," she says. Liz gives an hon­


est account of what pregnancy and par­ enthood can do to a relationship and the impact of post natal depression. "The focus IS so


much on you and the new baby, but no one seems to remember there's a relationship there,” she says. “It totally changes, you become very focused on the baby, you are exhausted - and it's just as scary for a new dad."


: ■ J S f r j / ’ V , "I think men can'


get PND to o - I know men can get extremely worried before the baby is born, then the : ' woman he adores : has changed so much, you have rows, you don't have sex - things can get out of con­ trol very quickly." Liz says she


found the hardest thing about becom­ ing a mother was . realising that giv­ ing birth didn't immediately make her feel maternal. ■ But she has good


news for those who think they'll never manage mother­ hood: "With your first baby, every­ thing feels alien. By the time you've done it every day for four years, the third baby is so easy! Her final tip is to


try to keep every­ thing m perspec­ tive. "Always keep


your sense of humour. Just think, tomorrow will be better."
