Eat, eat, eat and eat some more! That's a small baby, but it will survive! My 2 babies were born at 35 and 36 weeks. Babies born in the second trimester have gone on to live great lives, so making it to 37 weeks will only help. Did the doc say anything about the baby's development? In a normal baby, everything should be developed by the third trimester and then it's just growing bigger from that point on.
I want you to think positive thoughts always, but just for a minute, let's say your baby is born and it's underdeveloped, all that will happen is your baby will live in the neo-natal unit for as long as it takes to grow bigger and develop more. They're not going to let your baby die! So don't stress out, add more healthy calories to your diet and just let your baby do it's thing. Trust your body.
