Fetal Low weight gain

Between 28-30 weeks, my fetus gained slightly over 500g, and he has always been in the 69th percentile. but this time when I went for my check at 32+5, he only gained about 130g. My gynae says he’s growing well & in the right range although I kept asking if this weight gain is too little. but when I checked online, a healthy fetus should be gaining abt 200g per week at this age. Did anyone have experience with such an issue and still managed to deliver a healthy baby? Just need some reassurance.

If your gynae tells you it’s ok, trust them. Don’t listen or see too much online. It’s always 50 50. My baby is on the lower weight side and despite my gynae telling me to spam high calories food till birth, I am the only one gaining lol! Baby came out at 2.6kg (40.3weeks) 😊
