Fruity Bitches at your Cervix - 10/10 thread, all welcome

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg herehere and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

Bloody hell avi! You look amazing!

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 20:50

Have found photos of me. I do not look as glorious and neither does the background .

FrannyandZooey · 14/07/2008 20:50

well I shan't try to top that
but have put photos of the bump painting that ds and dp did last weekend on picturetrail since we are doing nekkid sharing
warning: extreme close ups of rather surreal looking 40 week pg belly
including sticky out belly button
don't look if eating
or if easily frightened

Boco · 14/07/2008 20:50

Gosh, you've got no clothes on - I didn't expect that, it makes my pleading to see it slightly strange. You look fantastic - is that your house and your view? God your island is great. (that's not a pun)

filthymindedvixen · 14/07/2008 20:53

Avi - you look awesome int hat puic!

'well you have to Mumsnet like no-one is reading '' too true Frannny ol' bean!

Blimey. It looks totally round, like a big pink ball, it's amazing, have been staring open mouthed for some time.

Gosh but this new cervix thread is a big surprise! I feel compelled to post something too. I do have a naked picture of me pg with dd1 back when I was slim and toned, but it'd be rather too much.

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 20:57

I am contemplating the sharing....and making people my friends first.

FrayedKnot · 14/07/2008 20:59

Franny you are going to give birth to a beach ball

I knew it

I missed Avi

I think I put on about 2 stone with DS but for the last month I had to eat a low fat diet otherwise I think it would probably have been 3

pinkspottywellies · 14/07/2008 20:59

I peeked at the bum too!

I have about 3 photos of me pg. Only cause I went to so many weddings. And you can't tell that I'm pg cos my bump was so small!! I kept meaning to take some but DH never bothered

Just done 20 mins on the stepper

TooTicky · 14/07/2008 21:00

Dd1 is about to light a candle

Oh wow avi, what a beautiful photo, glorious bump.

Congratulations littlerach!

UR, I smother redcurrants with sugar (demerara is nicest) and eat them with Greek yogurt or ice-cream.

I gained 16kg (2 1/2 stone?) with ds1 and 8kg (just over 1 stone?) with ds2. I now weigh 52kg (er... 8andabit stone?), after starting at 49 pre-ds1. In my defence, I am a shortarse. I am pleased at having lost the weight, especially because I wasn't trying to, but I have to be careful to not be too pleased, as that way a repeat of my teenage brush with anorexia potentially lies.

Having spent my day dealing with bureaucacy stuff has made me stop pretending I don't have to go back to work. I've got used to this SAHM thing and if we didn't need, as in really need the money (not much downsizing to be done from a 2-bed flat ) I would so not be going back. Am holding on to my book and the doula course as routes to my Vocation. I will probably always have to WOH to some extent and know I will get resentful if I stay doing stuff my heart isn't in. It is going to be strange going back. It won't feel like me.

ds1 walked past and thought it was a painted breast! Your tummy button does look a bit like a nipple in the third one. It is amazing, very surreal indeed.

pinkspottywellies · 14/07/2008 21:02

Franny how come you aren't attached to that bump??!!

berolina · 14/07/2008 21:03

Oh Franny. Oh Franny what a bump. And an outie. I never got one with ds1 and was so pleased when I got one with ds2.

berolina · 14/07/2008 21:06

Idris, have just been on your profile hoping for bump sharing. Is that you fourth one down? You are gorgeous.

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 21:06

OK - bump sharing about to happen

IdrisTheDragon · 14/07/2008 21:07
TooTicky · 14/07/2008 21:07

Franny, that is the most unreal and amazing bump I have ever seen!
