Pregnant o:

Yeah, I see the rings too when my sim goes to another trimester.

They are more like "shockwave" or "force" rings.

Like if I explain it right:  Think of sound waves or force waves.

But I've only noticed this when my bumps go from first to third, then birth.
Is there something wrong with my game, like a glitch? Where's my second bump?

[yummybunny]

I just had that problem too with a pregnant sim.  She was really fat on her first bump, then she didn't grow more than a whole day after.  I thought she was in her third trimester and was expecting her to have the baby, but she didn't more than a day later.  So I had to get out this one CC item, which showed that she was in her second trimester.

Sometimes, the game messes up and skips a trimester physically, but really, it isn't skipped, because I played another house, and one of my females had gotten pregnant, her's is going normally.

It may just be a one-time thing, if this is the first time you had that problem.  Try pregnancy on another female and see how it goes.

oh.
Yes, it was the first time it had happened. I'll see if it comes back when one of her daughters/son's wife get's pregnant.
Thanks :D

Never had missing bumps in my game and I never payd any attention to that ringy thingy, so I don't know.
you can choose the gender by re-loading the game just before your simmie gives birth. So it has nothing to do with it.

Gypsy just had her second baby bump, and like I said,
it happens to all my Sims when they go from bump1 to bump2, and from bump2 to bump3.




So, that at least is not a glitch. 

[Joann]

Alrighty.
I've just never seen it before, and the bump missing was confusing. I thought she got so big so quick was because of twins, but obviously not.
I'll just wait until the next female has a child and see if the glitch goes away.

Thanks to everyone for the explaining and help (:

I am beginning to wonder if the color does have something to do with the gender.

The rings were pink, and she had a girl (spoiler!).  I'll have to test things theory ...

[Joann]

gasp!

Both of my rings were pink and they both came out as a girl, if that helps (:

I have seen blue rings before.

I have two pregnant sims that I'm playing now..maybe three...I'm gonna experiment.

EDIT:  Well, all of my prego sims were on their third trimester...bummer.

So I took a female and gotten them pregnant.  The ring only happened on the third trimester, the ring was pink, and the baby was a boy.

She was wearing a green and pink shirt.  Either the rings are always pink or they change color according to your sim's shirt, because I also have a pic where the ring is clear.  It's like you can see the ring, but it's not zoomed in...she was wearing a white shirt, I believe, and the baby was a boy.
