Pregnancy Isn't Always Pretty

Pregnant bloggers share the dirty details about the uglier side of gestating.

As I approach the pregnancy finish line, I'm finding the late third trimester a constant reminder of some of the more unpleasant symptoms pregnancy can bring on. And other pregnant bloggers are right there with me. Here's a sampling of posts about the less-than-pretty side of pregnancy:

• Amy at the Mommy Files details a particularly bad case of heartburn (ouch!) and how she dealt with it (hint: not Tums).
  
• At All & Sundry, Linda "piles" on about a rather delicate topic many pregnant women can relate to.
  
• At His Boys Can Swim, Jane writes about a pregnancy-induced problem many of us haven't experienced in years--killer zits.
  
• And over at Mommin' It Up, Jenny shares a tale of postpartum sluggishness. (No, I'm not talking about sleep deprivation!)
