sudden weight gain

Hey! Im in the midst of switching to an OBGYN for the rest of my pregnancy so I haven't seen anyone  in 7 weeks so far. Im just a little concerned! Im 27 weeks along, last time i was at the docs I was 155 lbs.. in 7 weeks im now at 170! I havent changed my eating habits since I got pregnant but suddenly am gaining weight like crazy! I work 44 hrs a week at a high paced job on my feet for 8.5-9 hours straight a day so excercise isnt an issue..

Does anyone have advice or have had this happen before? Im scared im going to become a blimp soon!
