However because is under subsidise i see the doc next week to get the report for the 28week scan.

actually there will be differences in the weight as long as baby is healthy will do. I was told at 28 weeks to control diet my baby is 2.5kg at 35 week doctor told me is around 3.5kg I gave birth at 36 week baby weight 3.2kg

Ultrasounds are better to measure the weight but most of the time they are not accurate. Your fetus will keep gaining weight as your pregnancy progresses & at 28 weeks, fetus should already be about that weight your gynae said. After that gynae will keep measuring your belly to estimate your fetus weight by doing fundal measurement which is to measure your belly from the pubic bone
