Select your spouse [[Zoi]] and use the [[Suggest Having a Baby]] [[interaction]] to try for a [[pregnancy]].


If the Zoi is eligible, a [[Pregnancy Test]] button will appear on their portrait.
[[Pregnancy]] is a key feature for [[family]] and generational gameplay in [[inZOI]], allowing [[married]] [[Zois]] to have [[children]].


Keep in mind that pregnancy is not always guaranteed, so don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out.
==Quick Guide==
#Select your spouse [[Zoi]] and use the [[Suggest Having a Baby]] [[interaction]] to try for a [[pregnancy]].
#If the Zoi is eligible, a [[Pregnancy Test]] button will appear on their portrait.
#*Keep in mind that pregnancy is not always guaranteed, so don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out.


==Requirements==
To attempt pregnancy, the following conditions must be met:
*The couple must be a [[married]] male and female [[Zoi]]. Unmarried Zois cannot try for a baby.
*The [[Zois]] must be living together.
*The couple must have a strong [[Romance|romantic relationship]].
*The household must have fewer than 8 Zois, as pregnancy will automatically fail if the household is full.
*Currently, only female Zois can become pregnant.
*[[Adoption]] is not available in the initial Early Access release but is planned for a future update. Same-sex couples cannot have biological children via pregnancy in the game at this time.

==How to Try for a Baby==
#Have one married Zoi initiate a social [[interaction]] with their spouse.
#Navigate to the [[Romance]] category in the [[dialogue options]].
#Select the interaction '''Suggest Having a Baby'''.
#*Note: Using the standard '''Set The Mood Next To Bed''' interaction will Not result in a chance for pregnancy.
#If the spouse agrees, the couple will typically go to a [[bedroom]] and attempt to conceive.
#Success is not guaranteed on the first try; multiple attempts may be necessary.
 
==Confirming Pregnancy==
[[File:inzoi_pregnancy_test_prompt.png|thumb|The prompt to take a pregnancy test appears on the Zoi's portrait.]]
*After the "Suggest Having a Baby" interaction concludes, a red exclamation mark may appear on the female Zoi's portrait in the [[UI]].
*licking this exclamation mark provides the option to '''Take a Pregnancy Test'''. The Zoi will then use a [[toilet]] to perform the test.
*A pop-up notification will appear, announcing whether the pregnancy test was positive or negative.
 
==Pregnancy Period==
[[File:inzoi_pregnant_belly.png|thumb|A pregnant Zoi's belly grows over the three-day period.]]
*A confirmed pregnancy lasts for 3 in-game days.
*The pregnant Zoi's belly will visibly grow larger each day.
*During pregnancy, the Zoi may experience specific [[moodlets]], discomfort, or feel sick (with an option to vomit in the toilet). However, their basic [[Needs]] do not seem to deteriorate faster than usual.
*[[Appearance]] editing for the pregnant Zoi is disabled until after birth.
*Pregnant Zois gain access to unique interactions, such as:
**Announcing the pregnancy.
**Inviting others to feel the baby move.
**Discussing baby plans with their spouse.
**Looking at ultrasound pictures on their phone.
**Shopping for baby products on the computer.
**Experiencing food cravings.
*If a couple gets [[divorce]]d while the Zoi is pregnant, the Zoi will remain pregnant.
 
==Giving Birth==
[[File:inzoi_give_birth_prompt.png|thumb|The prompt to give birth appears when the pregnancy term is complete.]]
#After three days, a red exclamation mark will appear on the pregnant Zoi's portrait with the prompt '''"Give Birth"'''.
#Clicking this initiates the birth process.
#The Zoi may give birth on the spot or automatically go to the [[hospital]]. A short cutscene typically follows, often showing the mother in a hospital bed holding the newborn.
#If the player misses the birth prompt (for example the pregnant Zoi is not in the active [[household]]), the birth happens automatically, but the player misses the cutscene and the naming opportunity.
 
==After Birth: The Newborn==
[[File:inzoi_newborn_crib.png|thumb|The newborn baby appears in a crib after birth.]]
*Following the birth cutscene (or automatic birth), the player returns to the [[home]] lot.
*A [[newborn baby]] appears inside a [[crib]]. The crib is placed automatically in a random room but can be moved using [[Build Mode]].
*A pop-up appears revealing the baby's gender and allowing the player to choose a first and last name. If the birth was missed, the baby receives a random first name and the father's last name.
*[[Newborn]]s have a randomized [[trait]]. [[Values]] and [[Desired Life]] are not available at this [[stage]].
*The Newborn [[life stage]] lasts for 1 in-game day.
*Newborns are confined to their cribs and cannot be held or carried.
*[[Parents]] and other [[Zois]] can interact with the newborn socially while it's in the crib (like [[talking]], [[showing affection]]). Basic needs like feeding and changing are handled automatically or via [[interaction]] prompts.
*After one day, the Newborn automatically ages up into a [[Toddler]].
 
==Notes==
*Early Access teasers have shown families with two babies at once, hinting that [[twins]] may be possible through pregnancy, although this is not explicitly confirmed.
