A member asked:
Im 37 week pregnant and my doctor tell me that my baby weight 6 pound. she say the baby is smaller than her size from 1,5 week. is it dangerous??

No, but : Baby weights as estimated by ultrasound are just that -- estimates. Further, the baby can gain a half pound a week in the last weeks of your pregnancy. If your doctor saw nothing of concern on your ultrasound, I wouldn't be too worried. Keep your appointments for checkups, and good luck with your pregnancy!
