There were a couple weeks where I felt I was running out of room in my stomach (maybe like 33-35 weeks). However, that has gone away the past few weeks. Today I ate my lunch, some of my friend's lunch and a McFlurry from McDonalds. I am definitely not slowing down!
I can't remember for sure (that is so sad considering it was less than 6 months ago!) but I do remember getting full VERY fast. I would eat 1/4 or 1/2 of what i normally would eat in a sitting pre-pg because my stomach was just so cramped in there.
I didn't have much of an appetite - but that could've been due to it being pretty hot during my eighth and ninth months, and my appetite always decreases in the summer. As PPs said, I ran out of room and couldn't eat much at any one sitting anyway...but I just didn't want to eat a lot, either. I dropped a few pounds at the end of each pregnancy.
I'm only 26 weeks, but for the past few weeks I can't eat dinner. Zero appetite, nothing sounds good, no room in my stomach, etc. I'm trying to graze more to make sure I eat enough throughout the day.

I went back and forth my whole pregnancy between being like this and being crazy hungry.
I'm right there with you OP - i've been kind of worried about making sure i took in enough calories because this past week, it's been a struggle to eat. I am NOT a small eater, usually, and this whole past week, food has made me feel nauseated and way too full. I'm trying to alter my eating patterns a bit to even more grazing.... and the saddest thing of all, from a person that loves to eat, i just don't really look forward to eating right now :-(

hmmm, eating is not something I ever had a problem with
