What Causes Extreme Hunger Immediately Before Labour?

Extreme hunger immediately before labour? I am 39 weeks, 2 days, second child (first aged 16m, thus close pregnancies), and known 3cm dilated (3 week previous check up). Contractions have been building with no appetite for days. However, hunger cannot be satisfied today.

It can be due to uterine contractions consuming high amount of energy also due to fully grown fetus.You dont have to worry about it and if you still have doubts in your mind I will suggest you to consult with your obstetrician as soon as possible. Thank you.
