Increased Appetite Before Labor?

Hey all!
This is my first pregnancy and my brain is spinning with all of the different signs of labor! I am just shy of 38 weeks and my husband and I both noticed that I've been eating way more than normal today! I was wondering if anyone else experienced an increase in appetite or the amount they're eating right before labor?
Thanks!

    Haha I was just talking to my husband about how I'm not hungry at all tonight. It made me wonder if my body had other things on its mind. I guess not!

    Haha! I'm sure it's different for everyone! I found out two days ago that I'm 50% thinned out and that baby is head down, so I think I'm just looking for any little sign at this point!!

    I mean, it's possible. but I wouldn't try looking for signs. You'll know when it's happening to be sure. :) If you're constantly looking for signs you'll be sure to find some! Lol. Even if they aren't the "final" signs. In truth our body is prepping for labor from the very start. I know it's hard not to be anxious! This is my second and I'm anxious too. Ready to not be pregnant! Of course post delivery has its own set of fun stuff too haha

    You probably are just eating more because your baby has dropped and actually left you room to out food in. Not a sign of labor, just a sign that you are very heavily pregnant.

    I lose my appetite when labor is imminent. I do get pretty hungry and tend to carb load in the weeks before hand though. LOL

    Yeah my appetite has been diminishing. My baby hasn't dropped and my due date is Monday. I feel like since she is sitting so high, I have no room for food. I want to eat but I just can't eat very much without feeling like it all may come back up.

    My due date is still 3 weeks away but I feel this same way! My appetite is dropping, not enough room in there I guess and it all just seems to be wanting to come back up the wrong way when I eat too much! Ugh. Constant snacking is happening here haha

    I was thinking about it. The day I went into labor with my first I had a HUGE meal at iHop haha. I basically inhaled pancakes. Haha. Not even an hour later contractions started. My friends joke we need to start going to ihop again haha

    I have had a bit of decreased appetite recently, I think as a previous poster said bc my LO hasn't dropped and my belly is HUGE. Plus I have acid reflux. With my first baby, I kinda knew labor was coming, so I made my hubby and I pasta and bread for dinner (like carb loading before a race). Two hours later my water broke and I was immediately in active labor. I knew labor was real bc I puked up all that pasta, hah!

    I have a March 15 due date, and I have dropped. I noticed that I ate way more right after I dropped about 3 weeks ago. Now I'm just eating lots of small meals.

    I'm also due March 16th and I am experiencing tons of tummy problems so eating fluctuates a lot..: hoping this means I'm closer to labor!

    I'm due Friday & my appetite has def decreased the last week or two. I don't feel like anything. The day I went into labor with my first I only had toast.

    I'm having my babies Thursday, I'm 37 weeks. My appetite has definitely increased. Unfortunately so for me because I've gained 70 pounds :(
