is it normal?

Hey everyone,currently I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my first child. Being pregnant at the age of 19 is tough but I believe I'm a strong women. The question is I do not experience any swollen or water retention on my body which is good and I have no problem bending down as I walk a lot and I don't have any back ache that often its just that I feel that my baby is small cuz the last time I went for my appointment,the doctor told me my baby weight was 2.1kg and its below normal range right? But she said its fine. I'm  just worried why I don't have any symptoms like normal pregnant women. Is it normal not to experience water retention or ache? Thats all I'm asking. I hope I have a better understanding from people who have more experience than I do.

You're also young so that definitely helps. I was active and drank a lot of water with my first (at 25) so I never retained water either. And the last few weeks of pregnancy babies can gain one pound a week so I wouldn't worry about that. :) sounds like you're doing great!
