Thats sounds normal. Check this growth chart out, according to it your baby is right on point. Im 35 weeks and my baby has been spot on with that chart.

I am currently 35 weeks and 5 days. I see a fetal specialist every week because my baby hasn't been growing during my  pregnancy. I do everything the doctors tell me and she just doesn't gain much weight. She is measuring in the 3rd percentile and just now weighs about 3 pounds and they are planning on inducing me in 17 days god welling maybe before that. If the doctors are concerned they will monitor the baby and your pregnancy very closely. I wish you and your baby the best of luck!

U probably should read about fetal development.  Babies gain about a pound a week during the last few weeks of pregnancy.  So almost 2 lbs at this point is not bad at all.  U have nothing to worry about.
