Falling face first into dinner!
Emma:
Ok I thought this was quite cute and funny the first few times I saw it-but I am finding it very hard to keep my pregnant women alive! They are knackered and starving and they keep falling into their food...is there a hack planned that will stop this happening? I am currently using the maxmotives cheat to stop them dying, but I am not a fan of using cheats like that...I much prefer hacks ;D

I've found that with pregnancy you can't wait until they're past the halfway mark to take care of their needs. For example, if their bladder is at half full, then is the time to use the potty, the reason being that they will most likely also become very hungry and tired soon. Don't wait until a need is in the yellow before taking care of it. If they're alone during the day, make sure they talk on the phone to get their social up, but only if they're well rested (I wish they could talk sitting down, like in RL ... oh well ...) Or, have someone over for a nice game of chess.
Treat pregnant women like the infants they are going to have, at least in terms of taking care of their needs. Make sure they take naps as soon as they're allowed to "sleep" instead of "rest." If they're not doing anything and everything's in the green, have them study or read a book, relax and daydream, meditate, stuff like that that isn't energy taxing. If they live alone get them a maid. If they can't afford it, invite someone over and influence them to clean, then let Mom go take a bubble bath. Make sure her enviroment stays nice and clean. Order out instead of making her cook, and always have gelatin at the ready for sudden snacking needs.
In other words, pamper the hell out of her.
That seems to work for me. Actually, it works in real life, too, speaking as someone who has given birth. Building a baby is hard work.
In households with lots of kids and teenagers and others running around it gets more hectic, but it's still doable. Pause the game. Assign each kid a chore while Mom takes a nap. Have the teenagers take care of the toddlers. Have someone else order a pizza or cook dinner for everyone.
RainbowTigress:
I always tend to the most critical needs first, such as hunger, energy, and bladder. The other ones aren't as critical. I've never had a sim die of being stinky or not having fun, and if social gets too low, all that happens is the social bunny comes. So if it comes to a choice between which needs to tend to, I always go for the ones that can have fatal consequences if they fail. Even bladder isn't as important as hunger because if she pees in the floor, that may embarrass her and cause the environment and hygeine to plummet, but it still won't kill her. Once the critical needs are satisfied, then you can tend to the not so critical.
nectere:
I generally have sims meditate through pregnacy since they arent really good for much else during that time.
C.S.:
I have mine use the energizer a lot in their third trimester. I have Merola's Multi-painting, but I prefer not to use it unless I have to (save somebody on death's door or embarassment).
