  My last pregnancy my Dr said to eat cheeseburgers. They said he was underweight... He ended up being 8lbs 6ozs 2 wks early... Try not to sweat it.

  All babies grow at different rates. As long as baby gains some weight in the next week they will probably just monitor it.

  Make sure you're eating well. I wouldn't restrict calories but I don't think you need to go crazy either. I'm sure you're probably not but if you smoke, please stop straight away. Other than that just try not to panic. Babies grow at different rates, and if you think about it, 50% of normal babies have to be smaller than average. Your doctor will just want to make sure the baby is growing compared to your last scan.

  Add protein to your diet and my doctor said when I'm resting lie on my left side. The placenta works best in that position- so baby gets more nutrients that way. Stay stress free! My baby is small too- but leaving it in G-ds hands, praying and eating more!

  Also, are you and your husband small? My DH and I are both really tall so our baby measured big, but we have some friends who are both short and small. She was telling me the doctors totally freaked them out because their baby measured small the whole time. Now she's an adorable 5 year old!
