If your doctor wasn't concerned, I'm sure everything is fine. Babies gain up to 1/2 a pound a week in the last week's so since you have 2-3 weeks left your baby should be close to 7 pounds at birth which is good. Also ultrasound can be off by up to a pound so I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck!

I got checked a couple days ago at 38+1 and she was estimated 6 lbs 8 oz which they said was exactly average. At 38 weeks baby averages between 6.5-7 according to docs. But they're not always accurate! Your baby could be a little bigger than what they're measuring :)

I think that's small for being almost 38 weeks ....
But if your dr isn't concern then I wouldn't worry :) besides ultrasounds can be off a little . & you have like 3 weeks more left , baby can put on some weight still .

At 33 weeks my little one was measuring 4lbs 11ounces. All babies are different though, like she said as long as your doctor wasn't concerned I wouldn't be either
