Don't forget too that your baby still has a few weeks to put on weight as well. The average is around 28 grams per day from 36wks until the birth plus those scans are notoriously wrong! If you are both small people then there was every chance that bubs is going to be small too. I know quite a few babies who were around that size or slightly bigger and none of them were born sick or have ongoing health problems, they were just born small. If there is no medical issue like IUGR, then everything will be fine most likely. One thing to remember is that those growth charts are made up of the very small babies and the very big ones and everything in between.
