I wouldn't worry too much if you usually only have small  babies. Its the midwife's job to worry about things like that. The weight is only an estimation so they could be wrong. They will just want to keep an eye on you and make sure that the baby is growing ok and you will probably be scheduled for a scan in a couple of weeks to check the development. They were concerned about my baby's weight and i had to have steroid injetions but she grew a lot in 2 weeks so it was ok. Try not to stress too much, just see how things go. Good luck.
