concerned n need to vent

So I went to the dr yesterday and at first the dr said everything was fine but right before I left she stopped me and said she decided I needed to come back Thursday for an ultrasound, NST and monitoring instead of Monday for a regular check up....she also made the comment that I was "borderline" but neglected to tell me borderline what..... I think its just because I'm still quite small at almost 37 weeks n I've only gained 7 pounds. Around this time my first son quit growing and was born 5lbs 15 oz but was very healthy so maybe that's what their wanting to monitor. But my question is borderline what....I'm confused and trying not to stress about it but it is concerning me a little

My daughter stopped growing between 36-37 weeks too, I was enticed 2 weeks later & she wad 6lbs 5oz ( my first born was 8lbs 9oz so big difference). This time, I am 31weeks+5, they said my measurements are all good, even a bit big but if I fall off that pattern or curve, they will send me into for a US. They may mean borderline growing enough still, that's how I would take it anyways. My Dr also said because of my history with my daughter they would be monitoring me closely.

PS I have only gained 5 lbs more than my pregnancy weight.

I go Thursday, I wanna call but they've been so busy I don't think I can get through. I just keep telling myself if something was wrong she'd have told me and not sent me home. I think its (hoping too) precautionary

I've never had this issue, but if I were you, I would call the doctor's office back and ask them to explain this further.  There is no need to worry yourself until Monday to find out what's going on!  Good luck!!
