    I saw that this morning.  It seems so hard to believe.  I feel like I need to see a picture of her the week before.  Like, good for her, but really?

    I made the mistake of looking at her instagram account.  She seriously looked a little bloated at 39 weeks.

    Well, that makes a tiny bit more sense.  I mean, I was still rocking the mesh underwear like 2 weeks after I had my kids, so the underwear alone had me baffled.  Ha.

    I looked at her Instagram as well. She did not have a very big baby bump just before delivering. I'm sure that has much to do with it. Other than that, I don't really care about how she looks. I won't lose sleep over it.

    I was the same way.  When I saw her 9 month pregnancy photo I figured she wouldn't look that big.  I was rocking the panty mesh as well :)

    I wonder how much her baby's birth weight was?  Hopefully the little girl is healthy.

    Yeah, her bump was itty bitty at 9 months pregnant. It doesn't really matter to me what she looks like now, but did anybody notice that their bassinet is suspended from the ceiling? I think that is awesome.

    Why is she taking selfies, with makeup done instead of bonding with her new baby. Put down the camera and pick up your baby. I hate to judge harshly but I assume she has a nanny and not much interest in her baby. At 2 weeks pp I was only about DD. If I had 3 minutes to spare it was to take a photo of HER to put on facebook, not a glamour shot of myself.

    Wow, that's quite a large assumption on your behalf. LOL From selfie to she doesn't love her child and must have a nanny. 
    Yeah...that's a little crazy.  At what point postpartum is it acceptable to post a picture of anything other than your baby while still being a good mother?

    Wow. She was tiny even pregnant. I just see those boobs and think about how she'd better not be wearing that bra all day...she's asking for mastitis and clogs! I agree that I had an "ice diaper" (lol @ that one) at 4 days pp and big old granny panties. I was also probably sound asleep on the couch with a baby on my chest and granola in my hair. Good for her, but a bit of a show off.

    Honestly, I would rather see a mom with her baby.  I have no problem with a post-baby shot, but at least wear clothes! I feel the whole 'underwear' shot feeds into the mentality that women must bounce back after having a baby.  I mean, if you do, that's great! If you don't, that's great too! No matter how you look after you had a baby, it's beautiful (whether you believe it or not).  You just gave birth and that should be celebrated.  Not the fact that you fit into your pre-pregnancy pants hours after giving birth.

    I think any grown woman posting a picture in underwear to the world is just gross--especially one that is a mother now. Seems incredibly immature. She could have shown off her stomach in a sports bra and yoga pants and still shown the world how quickly her body bounced back. I'm not outraged by someone showing off their body though. Meh, all woman's bodies are different. Some people show slightly while others get huge. I gained little weight with dd but my belly was pretty massive even though im tall and carry my height in my torso. My BFF is pregnant and she's gained 30lbs, is short, full term and I'm at a loss to where this alleged 30lbs is. She doesn't have a bump very much bigger than that models and is still small all over.

    Am I the only one that doesn't see the harm in someone posting a picture of themselves looking this good after giving birth? I can't help but think if I looked that good after birth I'd post a picture too... maybe I'm just as evil as she is? I just think it's ludicrous, some of the comments (on the article, not so much here). People act like she did it as a way to shame other women, but people find a way to make everything about them sometimes... why can't she just be posting a braggy picture of herself?


    It's upsetting b/c 99.9% of women don't look like that 4 days PP - or 4 weeks or 4 months. I don't even know if I think it's an accurate picture. 

    So, women see that and think, "Well I guess I'm a fat slob, that's what you are supposed to look like." It's just not really supportive or realistic. She can post whatever she wants and people can criticize it however much they want. This is why Kate Middleton got so much attention when she left the hospital - she didn't try to hide her typical post-partum body and it was very much appreciated. 

    Isn't it common sense that everyone's body is different? I don't look at pictures like that and think to myself "oh, that's what I SHOULD have looked like" at four days pp-do people really do that? why does someone need to hide what their body looks like unless they still have a PP belly? There's a picture of me a few weeks pp holding ds and I happen to have a fitted top on and my uterus shrunk quickly so I didn't have that baby belly look anymore. I got a few "gosh, wish I looked like that after having a baby" (which was incredibly overrated btw since I got stretch marks from shrinking so quickly). Should I not share family pictures or have worn a baggy shirt to be supportive to other moms who may have not lost the baby weight? That is just insane.

    I judge the underwear selfie more than anything.  She is a fitness blogger.  She is married to an athlete. It is her job to be in incredible shape.  I imagine she had abs of steal before she got pregnant, and continued to work out during her pregnancy.  I imagine she was a Braggy McBraggerson before she got pregnant, and will continue to be after the baby.

    There's a difference between sharing family pics where everyone is clothed and intentionally taking/sharing pictures of yourself in your underwear. I get being proud of your body, but it takes a special kind of person to pose for a selfie in bra and panties and then post it for the world to see.

    I don't judge her at all for the way she looks, I just judge her for being trashy.
    She's a soccer wag...that's probably the most clothes she's ever had on. They're not exactly leading the conservative charge most of the time, being it an English one or apparently Norwegian as she is. She writes the largest blog in Norway apparently...it's her job to be an AW.

    I'm just saying why people might get upset. I think she can do whatever she wants. 

    And don't we have all kinds of crazy thoughts PP? That's what everyone said on the last BF thread we had. 

    Yes, it's true women are sensitive after giving birth and could look at that image and feel bummed that's not the way they look. I suppose women do that regardless whether they're pregnant or not. It's not like the bf meme which is a direct attack on others. If she posted a caption under the picture that said "this is what a healthy mom looks like four days after delivery" I'd be there helping hold the pitchforks too. I don't think women should hide their body because of others.

    Yeah, dh's cousin did that a few months back, with a caption that said "only God can judge me." Noooope, I'm pretty sure lots of people were judging you right then.

    The pictures didn't show up for me but I found it. I've never, ever understood how someone else's body could be insulting. Yeah, she looks insanely good 4days PP and posting underwear pics is obnoxious and totally AWish but I don't think what she said is insulting. I remember feeling empty inside after giving birth. I remember right after delivering DH said "baby look at your stomach" because it was so small post birth. Now, don't get me wrong, it certainly wasn't sculpted to body perfection and it wasn't really flat again until after I weaned and I didn't post pictures of myself with only undergarments on but I was pretty small. Oh and my engorged pregnancy breasts were freaking huge. Painfully bursting out of my bra huge.

    Comments like "I want to punch her" or assuming she's a terrible mom who has handed her newborn off to a nanny and are uninvolved are annoying too. I had an incredibly need newborn and still found time to take a few nice pictures (with her ;) ) and I even showered and put on makeup.

    Her picture is annoying, she's totally an AW and clearly has other issues but if this is insulting to you I'd assume you have issues as well. I agree that the "What's your excuse" chick was actually insulting but this is just some annoying fitness model posting an undie pic for attention.

    I think I'm mostly offended by how great her boobs look in the bra...I can never find bras to make the girls look like that...they have yet to invent a magic bra sold in the states I guess.

    Her baby "bump" is about bhow big my stomach was... at 8w pregnant and bloated. I want to punch her for gaining so little weight. Now, had she had a baby bump like Kim K. or Kate Middleton, she never would look that skinny 4 days PP.

    I'm not against it if its a pic taken at the pool or the beach. I sure as hell wouldn't put my bikini on in my bathroom, take a picture of my self in it, and then take it back off. But that's just me.

    Definitely this. I don't mind candids of people at the beach or pool in bikinis. The staged ones are the ones that are obnoxious.

    So he wiki page says she had an eating disorder.  Again, much like fit mom, color me shocked this is a person with body issues.

    This had to go through google translate, so its sort of crazy.  BUt you can link to the article (8) which is also crazy because of the translate.  Armchair psychologist here, but yeah, issues, need for validation, and replacing one compulsion with another.

    DH said last night that she probably had a eating disorder.
