Loss of Appetite

Hey everyone..I mostly come on and read other conversations. This time though I was thinking maybe asking instead. I am 34 weeks and 3 days along and I have found in the last three days or so I have had a serious decrease in appetite. I still try and eat because I know I need to but it has to be smaller meals and I get full fast. It weirded me out because I used to eat constantly like I couldn't get enough food. Have you guys had this problem? Is it normal?

I have had the same thing happen to me. I am 35 weeks and 3 days. Most of the time I just don't want to eat and I almost have to force my self to. One thing I have done that has helped me to make sure I am still getting calories and the nutrients that baby and I need is by drinking Ensure and Slimfast. I also drink V8 and juice. These are much better on my tummy.

It makes sense that the amount of food that you consume is starting to decrease as you are developing less and less room as your baby gets bigger and is pressing on your stomach. Think of it as a natural gastric band. It is entirely normal. Just keep eating numerous small meals throughout the day :)

It sounds like me... completely normal I think. There just doesn't seem to be enough room in there...
