Jessica Alba stirred up some controversy recently for her blunt synopsis of being pregnant: "I never felt less sexy. I mean, I wouldn't have changed it for the world...but I wanted to get rid of all the weight." So shallow, right? Well, maybe not.

My first instinct was to rail against her for being superficial. After all, pregnant women can be sexy—just ask Gwen Stefani. And plenty of preggo celebs actually appreciate that big ol’ belly. Take Halle   Berry , who said, "I feel more sexy now than I’ve ever felt—really, truly, sexy." Besides, in the grand scheme of things, whining about a little weight gain just seems petty.

Then again, that’s easy for me to say. So I asked a few friends who have been with bun in oven, and they actually thought both girls were right: Yes, there’s something inherently sexy about the whole miracle-of-life thing. And yes, there’s something inherently unsexy about nonstop nausea, cankles, and maternity bras.

So maybe Jessica does deserve some props for her honesty. What do you think?
