Baby weighing under 5lbs!

Im getting induced 3weeks early as my little girl has not put on any weight for two scans, also my placenta is working over time and not giving her enough nutrients that she needs. They have re assured that she wil be ok and breathing on her own but Im still very worried that she's gonna have complications. Anyone els experienced anything similar?

My baby was born at 1.88kg. I had gestational diabetes so they kept him for a few days to monitor him. Otherwise he was healthy and is gaining weight. He is 4months old now and weight 5.2kg.
