Loss of appetite third trimester

Im 33w4d, first pregnancy. The past few days I've noticed I just hardly have an appetite at all. Yesterday, all I had to eat all day was some pancakes in the morning then absolutely nothing else until late evening when we got a chicken kebab wrap. Today, I had some cereal in the morning, and about two hours ago had a sandwich, some crisps and nuts and a handful of grapes. I've been awake since 10am and had my breakfast then. It's almost 10pm now and I don't even want to think about food. I've no interest in it and, frankly, feel a bit sick after eating too. I suppose this is normal around this time with baby taking up more space? The issue is sometimes I feel a bit dizzy if I don't eat, but I feel like I'll throw up if I do. A few days ago I thought I was going to pass out from not eating much, but then eating just made me want to vomit.

This is me I’m 33 weeks pregnant and for the past 4 weeks or so I have no appetite and feel sick eating anything more than a few mouthfuls of food.
I have sweets to help my blood sugar and I try to eat as much fruit as I can (seems to cut through the nausea).
apparently its hormones and your organs being squashed 😓
I also get terrible acid reflux so try not to eat after half 6. I’ve also thrown up a few times because of it
it’s miserable but pretty common x

Yeah this happened for me with all 3 babies. It’s like I had no room left for my stomach. It was fine, I just ate high sugar foods to stop me from fainting. Appetite came back when breastfeeding

I had very little appetite in my third trimester. I put on loads of weight in my first trimester and almost none in my third, it was literally just the baby's growing weight that I was putting on. My consultant who I saw every 2 weeks (for separate issues) said it's perfectly normal, some women pile on the weight in the 3rd trimester whereas some really don't at all.

As a previous poster said, I just had no room for food.
