I'm a little nervous because I just had my 20 week ultrasound and the doctor said my baby is 1lb 5oz and should be more like 10 1/2oz. My first son was average weight so this is really new to me, I don't know if it's serious or not? I would assume too big is better than too small. Maybe it's my diet? I eat pretty well but probably eat more calories than I should. Should I be worrying so much?

Dont always go with what the doctors say when it pertains to the babys weight inside of you. I was told a 22 wks that my daughter was already 6 pounds and was probably going to be 12-14 pounds at birth. I had alot of excess fluid around her inside the womb. when she was born at 41 1/2 weeks she was 8 pounds

At 38 weeks I was told my son was already in the high 8s and I need to induce or I would end up with a c-section. She told me he could easily be born at 10 lbs. I refused the induction. He was born at 41 weeks (and 11 lbs by her calculations) at just under 7 lbs! So yeah, don't believe them.
