Also, pregnant Sims in ''The Sims 2'' may have random drops in the hunger motive, which may take newer players by surprise.

===Second Trimester{{Anchor|Second Trimester}}===
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. In ''The Sims 2'', however, a pregnant Sim who has access to a car can drive to work. In ''The Sims 2'', the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. Also, in ''The Sims 2'', calling a Sim who is on maternity leave during his or her work hours will still result in the "<Sim> is working" messages, and a Sim who "brings a friend" home from work may bring a pregnant Sim. 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}}
In ''The Sims 2'', a Sim at this point will no longer be able to do [[Secret skills#Yoga|yoga]] or work out in front of a stereo, but will be able to work out in front of a television. The Sim may be able to use some types of exercise equipment, but will not be able to use all types. The combined effects of pregnancy and working out will be hard on the Sim's motives, but this does not appear to pose any other risk. A pregnant Sim will be able to [[Swimming pool|swim]], but will be unable to use a [[diving board]] or [[Water slide|pool slide]].
Pregnant Sims in the second and third trimesters can also expect to have cravings, in the form of more "Eat..." wants/wishes (depending on which game) for specific foods. These are easy to fulfill, since they'll usually be a dish the Sim knows how to cook.
