Twins-Low fetal weight of baby b

Hi - I had my 20 week ultrasound today.  While Baby A is doing great and does not show any signs of concern.  Yet with Baby B, they detected a lower than average birth weight.  Baby B is weighing 11 ounces when the "average" is 12.7 or so...  My blood tests and screenings are good...  The doctor stated that Baby B's structure (head, abdomen, femur, etc) looks great.  But the low weight of the baby is something that we will have to keep an eye on Baby B because this can mean a chromosome or syndrome issue...

Needless to say, I am worried and stressed... 

Anyone have any input on this?  Has this happened to anyone?  Has a doctor told you that one baby has lower than desired weight than the average?

Thanks fin advance or any input...

    My daughter had severe iugr she was always behind at every ultrasound. Your baby could just also be a smaller person. My husband and I are short so our daughter was never going to be a giant to begin with. As long as they watch it you should be fine.
