weight gain

Hi
I saw my consultant on Friday gone and they did the usual urinary test and blood pressure and everything was fine.
I am 27 weeks now. Since last week I have gained 8ibs? I have got swollen ankles and wrists which have only started since last week.  Should I be concerened about the sudden weight gain?

Sounds like retained water. Watch ur salt intake and elevate ur legs above ur heat when possiblend definately increase ur fluid intake. Talk about ur concern regarding wt with your doctor.
