Yes: 2lb9oz baby at 29 wks is average weight. Some women have small babies and some have large babies. As long as baby is growing no need to worry for now. Remember there is a 10-15% margin of error in ultrasonography.

13%: Since the fetal weight is 13% it is likely that your doctor will want to repeat the sonogram in 3-4 weeks to confirm adequate fetal growth. Less than 10% is considered be the cutoff for fetal growth restriction. Discuss the plan of care with the doctor treating your pregnancy
