My baby was weighing 5lb 9oz at my 36w ultrasound, and they said that was ok, they said it is a little under than the normal range, but certainly not a problem. I've already been told not to expect a big baby, but i know those scans aren't always accurate. Your baby will probably just be a smaller baby too, it doesn't mean they're not healthy.

Yea, I think you should be okay. Plus, u/s's aren't super accurate when It comes to measuring the baby's weight. It really Isn't a big difference If you ask me. Keep eating healthy and I heard eatin' foods with a lot of protein helps with the baby gaining weight as well.

According to the "I'm Expecting" app. , he should be weighing around 5 1/2 pounds. So If you ask me, he's not even that far behind at all. He still seems like he's In the healthy weight percentile.
