24 weeks tomorrow and havent grown

I will be 24 weeks tomorrow, and am pregnant with a baby girl! My last doctors appointment will be one month ago as of 10/17 this Friday. My daughter has continuously been measuring pretty underweight being only in the 5th percentile for weight. At 18 weeks she was only 6.7oz. And exactly 2 weeks later at 20 weeks she only weighed barely 10oz. They are pretty concerned with how small she is measuring and I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check for growth. My belly has not gotten any bigger in the last month which worries me about her not gaining any weight. What did your babies weigh around 24 weeks and at birth if you've had them already?

I come from a family of big babies. My son was 8lbs 5oz when he was born. She is not matching the charts... Charts show her being in only the 5th percentile. I go Friday and I'm hoping she is over a pound!

Small or not growing fast enough.. In 2 weeks the baby has almost gained 3 ounces. That's pretty good . I'm on my 3rd baby. And mine has always matched this chart according to my Dr.

According to this week to week app. It baby is bigger then what it says she should be. It says at 18 weeks the baby should be approx 5 ounces and at 20 weeks your baby should be around 9 ounces. I would mention this app to the doctor and ask him why he is thinking your baby is
