Loss of appetite

Sooooo for the past 6 weeks or more I've completely lost my appetite which is really strange for this late in pregnancy (35 weeks tomorrow). My stomach will growl and I know I'm hungry but there's nothing that even sounds good. When I do want something it's only cold foods like salad and fruit which is a good thing but not nutritionally enough. I was a body builder before so I've continued my protein shakes to keep my protein level up but I haven't gained any weight in probably 6 weeks or more. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this?

    I am. Which I find odd because with my first pregnancy I would eat like 2-3,000 calories a day at this point! Somedays I'm lucky to eat 1,000 calories. Everything just sounds and taste yuck. The doctor sea ok with it though..

    I've been like this the whole pregnancy. I lost lbs so far. My face, chest, arms, and legs are thinner. My baby is not small so it is not affecting her but wow I never expected this! My first 2 pregnancies I ate like a pig and looked like a pot belly pig by the end.

    It's actually more common than you think. I talked to my doctor about this because my weight gain stalled at 19lbs for the last 6 weeks and then I lost a lb, but the baby is OK! I started out at a healthy weight and still workout to this day so I was worried I was doing too much. She said usually at this point, your uterus/the baby is cramping your stomach & digestive system so a lot of women tend to lose their appetites and sometimes even lose a few lbs late in the 3rd trimester. As long as it's not a bunch of weight all at once I'm sure you'll be ok. She told me just to pay attention to the baby's movements and if they're the same, not to worry

    What @bjackson2688 said. My appetite has changed just in the last week. I'm not really having meals anymore, just little snacks. I think it's because it's so crowded in there now. I'm getting heartburn all the time now. My weight gain slowed at the end of my last pregnancy, too.
