Caroline Berg Eriksen gave birth to her baby girl Nelia at the end of November, and after just 4 days, she posted this photo to her instagram with a message: 'I feel so empty'. The Norwegian mum, fitness blogger and WAG, got a very mixed reaction from mums which ranged from positive and congratulatory to anger and annoyance at the message this photo was sending to new mums about how fast they need to return to pre-baby size.
 
Eriksen had gained 22 pounds during her pregnancy, and she defended her 'selfie' saying “During the pregnancy, people kept telling me that my body will never be the same and I wanted to show everybody that’s not entirely true,” saying that she hadn't worked out since giving birth, she added. “I think all women should be proud of themselves, regardless of how they look after labor." 
 
What do you think of the photo? If you looked like that 4 days after giving birth, would you have posted it? I'm not sure I would. But then again, I'm not a fitness fantatic so I doubt I'll be looking like that any time soon.
