HELP, NST BPP 30 WEEKS ANSWERS

I am un in the air about whats going on with my pregnany and was looking for advice or help at eazing my mind. i am a first time expecting mom and i have been doing weekly NST && BPPS && everything is always perfect. my daughters movement, heart rate, oxygen levels are always great but the doctor seemed to be very concerened  at my 28 week bpp because my baby is staying on the small side. she only weighed two pounds and he said that she is under the 5% and wants me to see a high risk consultant and says that i will have to have her no later then 37 weeks. i am very concerened and will be 30 weeks on Wed and i have a bpp & a high risk consultant appointment that same day. i am so lost as to why everything with her health is perfect other then her size and he also said she might be IUGR. i am in need of some help of what to do and could use some other womens advice. Both myself and my fiance' are very tiny people, i was about 110 lbs before i got pregnant and hes about 125 lbs. i really appricate any answers you guys can give and help me quit stressing so much. thank you.

2 lbs at 28 wks doesn't sound that far behind to me. I'm sure your doctor is just being careful. The specialist will be able to tell you more. Ask questions.I see a fetal specialist once a week. They know so much more then your ob/ gyn. They will look at every inch of your baby and measure every bone. I'm sure its nothing and I had a stillborn last year at 27 weeks and she was 2.2 lbs and consider big so I'm not sure why your doctor thinks you baby is small.
