Pregnancy body changes different per sim? Body changes after multiple births?

So I've only had 2 sims get pregnant recently and after reloading a save had the same sim pregnant again for the first time.
What I noticed (lets call her Alice) body changed the same way both times and then she COMPLETELY reverted to her original body shape.
To be fair I didn't change her diet so she didn't add any new weight gain besides pregnancy, but I was surprised that both times she looked exactly the same. I thought it might be more random.
I've seen people post pictures of Sims with MASSIVE body changes during pregnancy and if anything my sim looked skinny pregnant both times.
So I have 3 questions I'm hoping the community can answer based off your experiences with pregnancy that I haven't seen asked after searching.
1. If a Sims has multiple children, say 1 after another does their body appear the same each time their pregnant (I DONT mean after) or have you seen times where they get bigger or smaller then previous pregnancy? Again I mean during the pregnancy when the game automatically changes their body.
2. Has anybody noticed any significant body changes to sims who have had multiple births after pregnancy that the game made by itself that can't be changed without editing in CAS.
3. Is the only way for a sim to gain weight after a pregnancy, is by eating more during pregnancy or will the game automatically sometimes add a few pounds regardless if they eat or exercise more or less during pregnancy?
Basically I'm wondering how much the game actually changes a sims body, how random it is and if it ever makes any permanent changes outside of weight gain like expanding body sliders like you would in CAS?
I'm asking because I want their to be changes in sims bodies like real life, and if the game isn't doing it by random then I might have my sim eat more each time she gets pregnant so that way she gets a little bigger afterwords if not just a little.
What have you noticed?

Edit - in light of your username, I'll add an (entirely off-topic) epigram in Sindarin
Elo! i estel Eldamar

(Yes - I am so much a nerd that I composed original verse for my Elvish Minstrel in LOTRO.
I'm curious, do you mean work out DURING the pregnancy or just have very fit body/high muscle slider going into pregnancy?
Was this a weight gain or do you think its permanent body shape change (like one that could only be done in CAS)
Also during the 4 pregnancies did you notice a difference during pregnancy for the same sim in their stomach/size expansion? Like was the first time smaller change where the second was much large and third smaller and fourth middle ground - or did they look the same each time outside of the mentioned hips and butt changes after?
Something tells me you might just be as excited for Realms of Magic game pack as me!
I think it’s from eating during pregnancy since their eating for two, their hunger declines a lot faster.
Supernatural is the EP that sold me on TS3, so yes, indeed!
One of my Sims is Culinary, so I have to watch their weight and fitness anyway. But I have a pretty good handle on weight changes from diet, so I ought to be able to factor that out during pregnancy. I can't see my Sim on the weights bench while preggers, but I plan on Yoga and Swimming Laps to keep fit - if it doesn't overtax an elder, it should be fine on my Sim.
it looks different each time as far as I can see also there was a point where I did need to go into cas for one of my male sims working out just didn't seem to get him back to like new again but this was after many babies I wouldn't want it changed though I think its a nice touch
Another sim just stayed pretty slim during most the pregnancy and was hard to tell she was pregnant.
I like how each pregnancy for sims is different.
Lets make this a reality!
Hm...I wonder what influences this, is it just random or is it based on pre-existing body size or traits? Or just totally random.
Have you ever had a skinny sim, have a baby, be skinny after then have a baby and NOT be skinny the second time?
I keep asking this second question because if the answer is generally no - then it means there is something more at play that is deciding what or why certain sims change and others don't. If the answer is yes then it is just random.
Hm...sort of unrelated but I don't think it matters what type of food you eat just how much. Does it? Like the game doesn't actually have calories for the food does it?
I know there is a mod that adds calories but for it to exist I'm assuming eating cake all the time without the mod wouldn't be any different then if a sim eats salads?
Yes, Carl's Sims has a list of the calorie count on foods: https://carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=22051.msg392533#msg392533
Yes, those are girl pants. Don't judge.
But then my 2nd matriarch, she didn't gain any weight after multiple pregnancies. She stayed thin and reverted back to her original size. I'm now on my 3rd matriarch and she actually gained weight after her 1st child. She's on kid 7, and is a bit on the heavy side.
I actually like how this is in game, as it's similar to real life. Every woman is different.
Her mother had 5 pregnancies, 4 sets of twins, but never seemed to gain permanent weight from it. She got bigger eventually because of all the birthday cakes and fancy foods she was making while maxing out both cooking skills, but not from the pregnancies themselves.
calories for the food does it?
yes it does
