36 w and no appetite

I have no appetite at all. If someone puts food in front of me i'll eat it, but when it's just me i either forget or just can't face it.   Should i force food down or just trust my body?  Frankly i don't see how there is space in there for food AND a baby.

I'm 36 weeks as well and i've been experiencing lost of appetite for about two weeks which resulted in me losing 4 lbs when i went to my last check up. My doctor said so long im taking my prenatal vitamins and eating at least 3 healthy meals, me and my little will be okay. Its normal to feel like that but if you cant find a way to stomach anything, try a breakfast essential which helped me to start my day off. Other than that, I have a nagging husband who calls every hour to make sure I have eaten something.

Good husband!  I'm no where close to 3 healthy meals though.  A bowl of cereal or a cheese sandwich is more than enough to do me for the whole day, which is why I'm a bit worried I should try to eat more :(  but I'm just not hungry.
