(Updated below)

I am somewhat worried about my next doctor's appointment because it seems I've gained 5 pounds in the last week! Not really worried but, gah, I can't keep up this rate of gain!

Before becoming pregnant, my BMI was in the overweight category (26). I never talked about weight with my obgyn and she hasn't mentioned anything.

I gained weight very slowly in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, only 8 lbs or so. (I never lost any and didn't have any morning sickness).

Now I'm 29 weeks and have gained 15 more lbs in the past 9 weeks, so I'm up about 23lbs.

I wanted to gain only 15-25 lbs total. Baby is healthy at every appointment. I saw my doctor a week ago and had put on about 2-4 lbs in that last interval between monthly appts. I see doctor next week (2 week appt)

I'm not feeling any aches or pains, just winded due to all my organs being smashed, including diaphragm. I'm not exercising as much as I could be most days, I walk and climb 3 flights of stairs many times a day. I'm not eating junk food, and moreover I'm not eating differently than rest of pregnancy.

Any insights? Anyone else experience a sudden jump in weight?

*Update: I lost 3 of those lbs and my ring fits better. I made sure I was drinking my water. My doctor didn't think anything of it.
