first time pregnancy

Hey ladies I'm having my first baby and I'm 21 weeks and 5 days I went to the doctor and was told my baby only weight one pound. Is this normal I'm eating a healthy diet adding more calories and taking my parental vitimans everyday. The doctor said not to worried but I am because I would have thought my baby would be a little bigger. Is it normal for a baby to weight just one pound at this time?

Yes thats completely normal the chart I go by says babys usually weight around 12oz at 21 weeks and 1 pound around 22-23 weeks so you are in normal range
