Line 28:
Pregnancies last 75 Sim hours in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and 72 Sim hours in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', though it's common to refer to pregnancies as lasting 3 days in both games. ''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.
In ''The Sims 2''. it is possible to calculate the time in which the Sim will expand each day and eventually give birth. From the hour in which a Sim becomes pregnant, she will expand 25 Sim hours later each day until she gives birth. So a female who becomes pregnant at one o'clock on Tuesday, will expand at two on Wednesday, three on Thursday, and give birth at four on Friday. In ''The Sims 3'', a Sim who is at level 5 in the [[Medicine#The Sims 3|Medicine]] career track can determine the gender of the baby.
Line 42:
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}}
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 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.
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.
