But I wasn't worried because he said that but when the weekly videos on here said almost 2ibs to 2ibs it scared me.

The doctor said that's good and normal when he said 2.2 ibs. She was weighing less there for awhile. She was only 1.3 two or three weeks ago.

If your doctor says its normal then it is normal. When I was about 30 weeks my doctor said he weighed about 3 pounds so you should be on track. However, these are just estimates. Your baby could be bigger or smaller. A family member of mine was told her baby was gonna be small and weigh around 6.5lbs but he ended up being 8lb 3oz so you never know.

Yeah 2.2 is an average measurement for 28 weeks. Not a big deal though. My son always weighed 3 weeks ahead. He was 8 lbs at 36 weeks so u may have a big baby.

Do you have gestational diabetes?  

I think the average weight for 26 weeks is around 1.7 pounds.
