The second trimester lasts one day. At some point in the day, the pregnant Sim will attract the player's attention and change appearance. Their abdomen will enlarge and they will begin to wear maternity clothing. In ''The Sims 3'', the bulge is nearly non-existent at first, but progressively grows larger. If the pregnant Sim has a job, they will be placed on maternity leave, and the carpool will not appear (however, if the pregnant Sim has access to a car, he or she can attend work by driving in ''The Sims 2''). In ''The Sims 2'', the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. There will be new social interactions, "Rub Belly" and "Talk to Belly" {{Vgversion|TS2}}; "Feel Tummy", "Listen to Tummy", and "Talk to Tummy", and the pregnant Sim may "Ask to Feel Tummy".{{Vgversion|TS3}} The pregnant Sim and father can announce the pregnancy to others. {{Vgversion|TS3}}
