Pregnancies last 75 Sim hours in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', 72 Sim hours in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and up to 3–5 days in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', though it's common to refer to pregnancies as lasting 3 days in both ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3''. ''The Sims 2'' has cheats which can be used to reduce the gestation period to a mere 2 hours in Sim time. The [[lifespan]] setting in ''The Sims 3'' does not normally affect the duration of a pregnancy.

The [[motives]] of a pregnant Sim will drop at an increased rate, even if the Sim is not visibly pregnant. In ''The Sims 2'', Sims who are able to [[Secret skills#Meditation TS2|meditate]] will still be able to do so while pregnant.

The third trimester lasts one day. The expectant Sim will get the attention of the player and the abdomen will enlarge again. They can no longer drive, take a taxi, use the [[Swings|swing]], or use the electro-dance sphere from ''[[Nightlife]]''. They will suffer from mood swings, in which the outcome of [[Social interaction]]s between the pregnant Sim and another will change. In ''The Sims 3'', they will get negative moodlets, such as the "sore" moodlet, and may no longer run.

In ''The Sims 4'', the third trimester can last to 1 or more days as birth can happen at any time rather than at a set time as it was in previous games.

On the last day of the pregnancy the Sim will attract the viewer once again and go into 'labor'. This is an [[autonomous reactions|autonomous action]] and all Sims on the lot or nearby will be drawn to the Sim to 'panic'. In ''The Sims 3'' and in ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'' expansion, the pregnant Sim can also be taken to the hospital when clicked on while in labor. Or they can stay at home, to have a safe and comfortable birth.

In ''The Sims 2'', a screen will come up with the message "There's a new family member on the way..." or "There are TWO new family members on the way..." (if the Sim is having twins) at which time the [[genetics]] and gender of the new baby (or babies) are determined. If the special camera is enabled, a [[cinematic]] will commence showing the birth of the baby, otherwise the Sim will turn around on the spot and a new family member is born. If the Sim has a job, they will get additional leave in the form of three vacation days, regardless of the number of vacation days they already have. These work like ordinary vacation days; if the Sim is scheduled to work, the carpool will come, and the Sim will get in unless the player cancels that action. These vacation days will not be lost if they are not used while the new family member is a baby. If another family member can stay home with the baby, the player may want to let the Sim go to work in order to save a leave day for later.

In ''The Sims 3'' a little pop-up will say: "The baby is coming! Make sure (Sim) is at home or in the hospital so she can have a safe and comfortable birth!" If the Sim goes to the hospital, the player won't be able to see anything, but can still hear the birth taking place. If the Sim stays at home, the Sim will turn on the spot, and the new little family member will be born there.

In ''The Sims 4 ''labor lasts several hours. The Sim can continue to do things while in labor but will be Uncomfortable. If the player bought a bassinet previously the Sim will go to the bassinet to give birth when the time comes, if they didn't a bassinet will spawn spontaneously when the baby is born.

After the birth of the baby (or babies), the player will then be able to name them. In ''The Sims 3'', depending on how happy the mother was during her pregnancy, the player might be able to choose both traits for the baby, just one, or none at all.
