It's like witnessing a car crash; you know you shouldn't watch, but you want to see if anything interesting happens. Maria is ridiculously narcissistic & she makes the other women look incredibly humble, and by humble I don't mean poor. I mean she makes them look like realistic, genuine, humane, people that care about other people outside of themselves. I didn't even know what to rate this show because I've never seen anything quite as insane as this, and I love reality TV (the real housewives, teen mom, Kardashians, siesta key, etc.). Maria reminds me of a teenage girl who has just discovered Louis Vuitton, and I can't believe the tantrums this grown woman throws. Unfortunately for Maria, she doesn't realize that there's more to life than material possessions, and it makes me feel sick that this woman is about to care for a newborn baby. I hope she gets a nanny because I feel she will be incapable of putting her baby's needs above her own needs. The way Maria talks to people is atrocious, she's incredibly patronizing, conceited, materialistic, and condescending; she's actually on the verge of being delusional. I'll keep watching because I hope someone gives Maria a reality check & I can't wait to see that. On another note, Rachel is my fave and she reminds me of SJP, but cuter.

Wow....what a waste of money...

The three wonderful ladies from Melborne; Jane, Rachel and Lorinska, are so much fun! They have a such a neat friendship and lots of laughing and love. It the show was only with them, I could enjoy watching several seasons. However, the vapid, unintelligent, backstabbing Maria was torture to watch. She is truly horrible. I feel sorry for Valentina. Her grandmother, the old leather handbag, also was torture to watch. Zero class, and terribly tacky.
Hilariously bad

This is the kind of TV programme that triggers a lot of hand-wringing about the state of modern Western culture, perhaps unsurprisingly.
The three Melbourne-based yummy mummies don't seem particularly unpleasant, but boy, do they do have an exagerrated sense of their own importance. They see their friendship circle as an exclusive club; apparently, all men want them and all women want to be them! Childbirth demands $100,000 gifts from doting husbands as a reward, so there's a lot of conspicuous consumption going on. It's all very vain and shallow, and rather silly. Adelaide-based Maria cranks it up a notch or ten with her brattish demands and narcissistic obsession with labels.
This is one of those reality shows that is so OTT that you start wondering if the whole thing was actually meant to be satirical.
Only watch if you're in the mood for a black comedy.

Maria sucks

If I could rate this show a zero, I would. The Melbourne woman at least are decent people. But Maria, the one from Adelaide, is a terrible person. She's terrible. Do yourself and favor and just fast forward through all frames of her.
Maria is a horrible human being
joseestonge24 January 2019
I really enjoyed watching the 3 ladies. But Maria...holy smokes, what a vile, shallow and shellfish human being! There is nothing classy about her! Her daddy is funding all of this? He needs to man up! She acts like a 2 year old. That poor child!
Are you kidding

Maria you are as dumb as they come

Warning: Spoilers
Wow Maria is an absolutely disgusting person she thinks buying materialistic things will make her happy while treating everyone around her like they're a her slaves & to top it of it's all funded by her absolutely naive and stupid parents I cannot believe that they've created such a horrible evil human being she's so rude and crude and has no class at all I don't know how this woman is engaged to that guy carlos who's a barber he's definitely hit the jackpot... while her father providing the ring and all her costs of living it is unbelievable that she think she's something special when really she is a very selfish spoilt 2 year old brat very sad to see people with money live like this,
I find it crazy that rich people are so stupid and dumb they don't deserve to have this kind of money. I'm wondering how the hell this girl's going to survive when her even stupier parents pass away she has no life skills but to buy Versace and Louis Vuitton chanel that's all she knows. What an air head.
LOVED this show... HATED Maria
luciigore_bangbang29 January 2019
The only reason 2 stars have been removed is because Maria is such a vile and vapid human being. How anyone, including her Fiancé Carlos, deal with such a cow is beyond me. Her mother is just as bad if not worse. But I LOVED the Melbourne yum mums. They're beautiful, funny and great to watch. Can't wait for season 2!!
O.M.G.

I can't believe these gals are for real! This is the ultimate in guilty pleasure viewing. I could not stop laughing. I almost felt sad that their lives are so shallow but they're happy so who am I to judge. Extreme, ridiculous, over-the-top with gorgeous scenery. Who knew barbers and hairdressers did so well in Australia.
Seriously?
jtravis76019 January 2019
Is Maria really this stupid? I have houseplants that are smarter. The other three are at least less catty. I saw the glamorous Versace babymoon episode. What a crappy hotel. Looks like a motel 6 with gold spray paint. What a waste of time.
Love it

Nothing happens, and very slowly too.
marksusslist3 August 2017
So here's the drill - we are watching a slice of life. We are told, many times, that something is about to happen. Then it happens. Then we are told, many times, what happened.
However, in between all of this we repeatedly cut to the subject being interviewed at a later time. Picture her getting in a car, then a cut to her being interviewed and stating "I got in the car". Picture teasers for this happening again after the commercial break, and picture the detailed recaps that take place after each break.
So the dramatic material consists of, say, a woman feeling labor pain (or maybe not); after half an hour of milking a five-minute non-event you'll be demanding an anesthetic yourself.

Superficial and a waste of time

All I can think about when I try and plow thru this painful show is...poor Valentina. These poor children are so commercialized. How about enjoying our children for the angels they are...not Fashion Brand props.
Penelope and Harvey are the luckiest...and that's saying something!!!!!!!
Disgusting mothers
claudiadelossantos-5785227 January 2019
Dumb people buying dumb crap for him and that don't need it
heather_lynn_brown2118 January 2019
I don't know what I thought this show would be, but it's not really about anything except brainless rich people that don't deserve their wealth. Clearly a large portion is spent on botox and fillers because some of these girls can't even speak normally. Watching people spend fortunes on useless crap isn't really my idea of entertainment.
Baby TV

I couldn't find a review section for season 2 so will include it here.
Maria plays the villain & she certainly doesn't hold back.
The catty swipes were relentless starting from the first episode.
It almost seemed like it was about the other 3 girl's approach to her many critical viewpoint's throughout the first season, some of which I found to be a bit cruel.
Season 2 shakes thing's up even more with the new Yummy Mummy replacing Maria's antic's with a more exotic approach. She actually caught me off guard about how casual she was getting her clothing from the stripper's club, with her deep voice tone lol.
Definitely worth checking out.

I enjoyed it 🙂 😐 🙃 - hence the high score

It was fun, a look into their lavish lives, especially Maria's. I do know a Maria in real life, even her name is Maria and she is a D.I.V.A. I absolutely hate it when she looks down at people. Hey Maria, even us 'common' human beings have happy lives and appreciate it with true feelings and values!
Whoever makes this show is also as shallow as the women in the show
sophiehuang-4261825 January 2019
The show is just stupid. Our society will get sick if you make shows like that. Stopped watching after 5 minutes. If they are so rich, and can afford to buy expensive items, why didn't they donate all their money to help the poor? Wearing designer brands doesn't make you or your children any better.
Classic TV
blackjoel20 March 2019
The Yummy Mummies series is about 5 mother's (if you include season 2) in competition over who can pull off the best baby scenario's, like a Baby shower etc.
Maria came across as the only one keeping a tally of this, the other mother's were pretty decent in their approach.
Watch out for the new Yummy Mummy in season 2, just found her hilarious.
Maria is very sadistic in her approach & harsh, but it was interesting & funny seeing how Lorinska & her 2 friend's took it.
What did I just watch?

Makes Me Sick!
shelbibrittney30 January 2019
I wish I could give this show 0 stars! The people in this show are a waste of space, as much as I hate to say such a thing. Watching two seconds of this will make you lose all faith in humanity. These women shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. Such a grotesque show to view, don't waste your brain cells!!!!
