'''Pregnancy''' is a game mechanic that affects [[adult]] {{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} and [[young adult]] {{Vgversion|TS3}} Sims. Pregnancy is a multiple-day event that brings many physical and lifestyle changes to the pregnant Sim. Pregnancy typically begins after a successful '[[Woohoo#Try_for_baby|Try for Baby]]' interaction between two Sims, and ends with the pregnant Sim giving birth to one or more [[Baby|newborn]] children.
There is no pregnancy in ''[[The Sims]]'', but there are custom [[skins]] which can give a Sim the ''appearance'' of being pregnant and Sims can "have" a [[baby]] by kissing{{Vgversion|TS}} or playing in bed{{Vgversion|TS:LL}}. However, ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'' were designed to be generation games, and to include pregnancy. This article describes all there is to know about a pregnancy in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3''.


Pregnancy was introduced as a game feature to ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and has appeared in each subsequent game. Prior to ''The Sims 2'', kissing or playing in bed{{Vgversion|TS:LL}} were the only way for two Sims to have children - in these cases, a baby would be born immediately after the completion of the action, forgoing any pregnancy period.

Under normal circumstances, only female Sims can become pregnant. However, male Sims can be impregnated as well, either through [[Alien abduction]] or by the use of [[Cheats]].
