Loss of appetite at 34 weeks

Hi ladies. I will be 34 weeks monday and all of a sudden my appetite has dissapeared which for me is completely unheard of! Is this normal due to everything being more compressed and baby getting bigger?
Anyone else in same boat?

I'm 30 weeks and felt like this for the last fortnight but my appetite made a miraculous come back yesterday- My husband even got me a bacon roll for breakfast this morning! I'm guessing the baby was just lying in a funny position.

When I saw my midwife on Monday I was a little dehydrated but no ketones in urine. The main thing she said to me is that baby MesM is fine and will get everything he needs from my body's reserves even if I can't eat. But I'd suffer in the long run and become rundown and so should try to eat little and often even if I can't manage much and keep up the pregnancy vitamins.

Hope that helps

Thanks MesM im not worried about reserves lol i got plenty of those Smile i have noticed i have been alot thirstier since lack of appetite so have drunk alot of water which i usually hate but nothing seems to satisfy my thirst??
I take the pregnancy care vitimins aswell as vit d everyday so no worries there hopefully.
I think ur right little and often is best but thats so hard as i love a good meal lol.

How did the midwife know ur were dehydrated? Was it from ur sample? I have a mw appt in two weeks
