"This is not a selfie. This is an act of war," writes one Australian blogger in response to the image — just one of many blogs, news outlets, body-image experts and social-media commenters around the world to weigh in on the matter in the past few days, putting the photo at the center of a major online body-image controversy. "This whole situation has become ludicrous. The competition for women to give birth and then immediately remove any trace from their their bodies that they ever carried a child is OBSCENE. There is no other word for it." Another blogger calls the photo of Eriksen, who is married to pro soccer player Lars-Kristian Eriksen, "wildly provocative.".

Probably real. She looks pretty natural in the before picture and they do get bigger with pregnancy
If this chick had normal human sized breasts,I’d say damn that’s hot. The boobs are almost creepy looking.
Unless she plans on feeding the kid silicone.
When my wife gave birth, because she was nursing (an apparently bottomless baby), she lost weight pretty fast. Her doctor cautioned her against losing weight *too* quickly, said it can be unhealthy.
As hot as some of these women look, what I see is an obsession for bodily perfection that is unhealthily extreme. A roll in the hay for a couple of hours, yes; but I certainly wouldn’t want to live with one of them. Most of them are probably so OCD they would drive you NUTS.
Is silicon nutritious? I hope Jr. has a wet nurse.
Dear God, what are the Libs complaining about now?
The hell with Laz, he can go to the back of the bus.
Yep...the Shakespeare of our time.
Okay, the balloons in her bra are a little much. It is beyond me why any woman would want to look like she has cantaloupes stuffed into her bra.
However, I would give almost anything to have been able to maintain a smooth belly like that after pregnancy. I have not worn a bikini since I was 19...
She would be very attractive if her breasts didn’t look fake.
There was anger at Elizabeth Hurley having a baby and then working with a trainer hours a day to get her “pre-baby” body back. This was held up by fashion magazines as the new “must have”.
So not only should a woman have a career and a baby, but a career, a baby AND a hot body afterward.
It’s a social pressure that makes women feel depressed that they can’t reach society’s standards.
I have seen women obsessed with body perfection diet and exercise through their pregnancy. I don’t know about this woman but just the fact that she is taking selfies for the world to see makes me suspect that she is a bit self absorbed. Four days out from having my babies all I wanted to do is hold them and send pictures of them out to the whole world. Sadly her husband’s attention is not enough for her.
