babys weight

hi everyone!  i'm 21 weeks today with baby girl!  when i was 20 weeks i had a full anatomy scan and the dr said baby is in the 50th percentile when it comes to weight---  does this mean shes small?  she weighed in at 320 grams or converted to 11.03 ounces.  any insight would be helpful!  thank you and best to you all----

I dont know, and all of us on this forum are about 1 1/2 months behind you. But, I would say the 50th percentile is good.  It would mean that half of babies weigh less, and half of them weigh more, your baby is right in the middle.  It doesnt sound to me like something to worry about, but Im no expert....
