[[Image:Thesims3-117.jpg|thumb|A pregnant woman, in ''[[The Sims 3]]''|235px]]'''[[Pregnancy]]''' is a game mechanic and multiple-day event that begins after a successful '[[Woohoo#Try_for_baby|Try for Baby]]' interaction between two Sims of opposite gender, and ends with the pregnant female Sim giving birth to one or more [[Baby|newborn]] children. Pregnancy primarily affects [[adult]] and [[young adult]] female Sims. Pregnancy brings many physical and lifestyle changes to the pregnant Sim, including increasing body size, faster-decreasing [[motive]]s, and forced vacation/maternity leave from [[work]].
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
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 the "[[Vibromatic Heart Bed]]" were the only ways 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.
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
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]].

Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
