Loss of appetite in last couple weeks

[Anonymous]

I am about 40.5 weeks along (yes, OVERDUE!) with my second baby. In the past couple of days, maybe 5ish, I have had NO appetite. And when I do eat, feel grossed out by it. Maybe I'm just overly tired and sore and hormonal, but I was just wondering if anyone experienced the same thing?
Thanks.

Yup, totally normal. It could also be that the baby and surrounding stuff is pushing up on your stomach so that your stomach effectively shrinks. The last few weeks of my pregnancy I ate really small meals, and simple foods. It was like having natural stomach stapling!

Oh yes. I am 39 weeks today. I had a slice of pizza last night for dinner and woke up around midnight and thought I was going to throw it up. I haven't eaten anything today but some crackers and a little bit of lettuce. I feel like I did my first trimester!

i'm late in week 39 and honestly, i wish i could just hook up an IV or something so i didn't have to eat at all. absolutely nothing appeals to me! i eat, but it's a chore each night coming up with something that sounds even remotely non-repulsive, and usually i just go to the first place i pass and get whatever i've gotten there in the past.

i think once the baby gets to a certain size, so many organs are being squished that there's just not much room in there.

do you get acid reflux after you do eat? i get bad reflux every night, no matter what i've eaten, or how much, or when. sucks, but oh well. the end is in sight. (hopefully.)
