Why is this woman getting grief for posting her pictures 3 days after giving birth?

I don't find any issues with it,do you?.



The wife of Norwegian soccer star Lars-Kristian Eriksen is under international scrutiny for posting a selfie of herself shortly after giving birth to the couple’s baby daughter.
Caroline Berg Eriksen, who runs a top Norwegian fitness blog, kicked off a media firestorm last week after she posted a scantily-clad picture of herself to Instagram showing off her fit physique just three days after going into labour.

“I feel so empty,” she wrote, “and still not four days after birth.”

But some onlookers, despite Berg Eriksen’s washboard stomach, weren’t impressed, questioning the 26-year-old’s motives in setting what some say is an unhealthy precedent for new moms.

“People kept telling me that my body would never be the same,” Berg Eriksen told ABC News. “I wanted to show everyone that’s not entirely true.

“Right after birth – like three minutes after – I felt like myself again.”

That’s because she reportedly worked out 5-6 times per week until she was well into her second trimester.

“I think that all women should be proud of themselves regardless of how they look after labour,” Berg Eriksen said.

Despite the disclaimer, many are taking aim at the Norwegian fitness queen for setting an unrealistic precedent that the majority of pregnant women will never achieve.

And that brought her husband, Lars-Kristian Eriksen, to her defence.

In a posting to Facebook translated by Business Insider, he wrote: "Who is it that creates body pressure? The one who posts selfie in lingerie because she is proud of herself, or those discussing (on the Internet) how a woman's body should look like after birth?"


 
Jealous women are likely the ones making all the noise. I say good for her, and hes a lucky man:)
 
It's the mediocrity lobby that is rearing its ugly head. We hate it when we see success, because it highlights our failiures. They won't be happy till everyone is slightly below-average.

Personally, I find her inspirational (and f'ing HOT!!!!!)
 
I am figuring the red board thought it was bad and ny that I mean liberals
 
I didn't see anything wrong with it at all. I am sure she did it responding to inquiries, probably from before she gave birth. I think anyone who follows a rigorous fitness routine during pregnancy is going to do it to show other pregnant women that it is possible. Seeing is believing, and being a fitness model that is the message she is going to try to promote, at all times really.

To say it is unrealistic for the majority of women, who shouldn't have to see this and feel inadequate is unrealistic. The fact is that it is possible for this type of body and for someone who does stay actively fit, and that is just as real as having stretch marks and 20 pounds leftover after giving birth too.

There's this desire to hide this from women, so that the majority don't feel inadequate, but why is that necessary. Some women snap back, some don't, deal with it.
