Norwegian Soccer Player’s Wife Criticized For Posting Picture Of Flat Stomach 4 Days After Giving Birth

Norwegian footballer’s wife Caroline Berg Eriksen has been
criticised for posting photographs on Instagram, flaunting a flat stomach just four days after giving birth to a baby girl.

Berg Eriksen, a health and fitness blogger who claims to
have to the biggest blog in Norway, posted a selfie on the social networking
site in which her enviable washboard abs were on display days after giving
birth to Nelia, her daughter with Norwegian premier league footballer
Lars-Kristian Eriksen.

She had posted days earlier on Instagram: “I gave birth
to the most beautiful baby girl yesterday… Her name is Nelia and she is
perfect.”

But her latest Instagram post – taken in her underwear in
front of a mirror – drew criticism from users of the social network, with one
branding the image “a joke”. Rebecca Foote posted “This is her 4
days after birth in shock haha.” Writing in Norway’s Dagbladet newspaper
one blogger called the images “wildly provocative”, and criticised
the image for heaping pressure on new mothers to shed weight soon after giving
birth.

Mrs Berg Eriksen replied to her critics on Facebook, saying:
“I let out the picture because I’m proud of myself and my body for
something as tough as a pregnancy / birth, and I think all mothers, regardless
of the body should be.”
