My baby size is in 5th percentile

I'm 24 weeks pregnancy now and this is my first pregnancy. I had my ultrasound screening, doctor said everything is normal and blood flow is okay but my baby bone size is at the smaller side. I had my NIPT, all in low risk. CMV tested negative. I was told to eat more protein and healthy fats. I have started to eat more since 2nd trimester and I have gained 4kg. My husband and I are not small size. Doctor said it might be genetic and I need close follow up if anything happens to the baby and might need preterm delivery. I am wondering if any mummies out there are having or had gone through the same problem as me. Any tips/advice that can make my baby grow bigger?

my baby was also on the smaller side in my womb, but my gynae wasn't concerned. If my gynae, with her years of experience, wasn't concerned, i decided that I shouldn't worry as well haha I tried eating avo, durian, full cream milk, but didn't help at all. probably coz my baby was predisposed to being small. He's 5 months now and growing well, exceeded 50th percentile after a couple of months of mad drinking lol
