Sounds like you're lacking in cheese variety... Besides cheddar, mozzarella, and feta, there is...
Goat cheese-available plain or in numerous savory and sweet flavors
Mini babybel
Spreadable babybel wedges (great on fruit, imo!)
Parmesan/asiago/romano (surprisingly low cal...)
TJ's Toscano or supermarket Bellavitano cheeses w/ flavored crust (we like espresso, black pepper, and rosemary, not so much the wine one)
Gouda and smoked gouda
Flavored cheddar: smoked, horseradish, etc
Havarti
Fresh/soft mozzarella (TOTALLY different product than string cheese); also comes herbed/marinated
Oooh and I bet if flavor, not texture, is your issue with cottage cheese/yogurt, ricotta would go great with fruit!
I'm also a fan of edamame...steam it and salt it in the morning and eat it cold. It's about 1/3 ea carbs, fats, and protein.

Okay, now you're making me hungry! (I love cheese!) I agree that even substituting swiss cheese or edam or gouda for your cheddar is going to give you a little taste variety, at least.
But for other ideas - I just did some web searching for low carb cheese recipes. Obviously, that's going to turn up a lot of "meals" along with the snacks, but I tried to think about what I wouldn't mind eating as a snack instead. Your mileage will vary depending on how much energy you have to actually prepare the snacks ahead of time - late in pregnancy you may not appreciate very labour intensive snack making activities! But some of them you could probably make a largish batch and freeze or keep for a while in the fridge - quiche-y things, cracker/crispy things, basically anything baked or cooked.
Here are some websites I found:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/low-carb-cheese-recipesHighlights/ideas I got from this one include:
Cheese roll ups sliced cheese rolled up with fruit or veggie slice or stick of your choice - here, they're spreading cheese with butter so that it's "keto" but you could modify to include other ingredients
Crustless mini-quiches, made in a muffin pan can be egg white only if you want
Substitute low carb veggie (Cucumber? Zucchini?) for crackers and serve with cheese and herbs on top
Mini bell peppers stuffed with plain or flavoured cream cheese could add fruit on top?
Cheese chips made here with salami but maybe you could think of something else to serve as the base?
Quesadillas made with low carb tortillas
https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/great-recipes.asp?food=low+carb+cheesePortable/snacky options include:
Cheese crisp tostada supreme
Beef and cream cheese tortilla pinwheel Rollups
Low carb cauliflower bread sticks
Low carb crispy cheese balls
https://www.fatsecret.com/recipes/collections/nutrition/low-carb/Cheese.aspxSome that look good to me include:
Parmesan chips
Crustless spinach pie (made in muffin tins, or cut into squares?)
Grilled zucchini roll-ups
Stuffed mushrooms (well, I don't like mushrooms but the general idea of stuffed veggie sounds good)
Mock cheese crackers
Stuffed celery with cheese and almonds
Cheese snack bites
Pistachio goat cheese balls
Sirnik (cottage cheese pancakes if your objection to cottage cheese is taste or texture, these suggest topping with Nutella, or fruit, or
)
Oh, and I think you mentioned greek yoghurt earlier. I love tzatziki, so don't forget to think of savory dipping options for yoghurt as well. Could do a yoghurt based roasted red pepper dip too. Oh, and not with yoghurt, but there's also baba ghanoush as a savoury dip.
Again, love your attitude - the take-home baby at the end is all that really matters, and you can eat whatever you have to, to get through the next 9 weeks. But if you get even a couple of ideas for variety from this thread, then even better!
And just for fun, on the subject of Vegemite:

Tommaso Sirigu: I'm curious, how does it taste?
Reply Zanoscar: it tastes like Australian mornings.
