A question regarding fetal weight...?

Im 20 weeks pregnant n the ultrasound suggested that my baby is fine n weighs around 22 ounces or 640 gms.

Now, the doctor apparently,said everythings normal but Ive read that around 20 weeks the baby is supposed to weigh appx 9-10 ounces.

Whats more,I have only gained a kilo or 2 pounds till now(not that I dislike that haha)

I cant help but wonder what this means,otherwise my baby is very active and everything else is fine (touchwood)!

Does it have anything to do with my height?Im 5'11.

    The weights given during ultrasounds can be a pound or more off in either direction. Babies and pregnancies vary widely. It sounds like you have a normal healthy baby :-) Maternal weight gain also varies pretty widely and if you're feeling pretty healthy I'd not worry about it!
