Anyone else with a small baby?

Question

My daughter was born at 37 weeks 5 days weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches. Ever since then, she has been in the 2nd-3rd percentile for height. She is following the growth chart well and is following along the curve, so our pediatrician is saying she is just petite. 
Has anyone else had a small baby in below the 5th percentile at first? Did they end up growing up petite? I am not worried, but rather curios. My grandmother, aunt and my husbands parents are rather short but everyone else including my husband and I and my parents are average.
At two months yesterday she was 20.75 inches tall amd 10 lbs 5 oz. she still fits into newborn clothing

Answer

I was born 5.5 pounds and was always under the growth curve lol i am 4 feet 11in - still taller than my mum . My sister was born heavier and was never under the growth curve growing up and she is the same height as me

Answer

My first was born at 38+4 6lbs. She’s always grown on her own “curve” slowly but surely. She was 12lbs at 4 months, 18ish at 1 year, and now 24lbs and turning 3 next month. Just petite but her growth has never been a concern. Bonus was that all her clothes fit for a long time. Quite different already with my son who is 10lbs at 7 weeks. He’s growing way faster.

My boy was born at 38wks 2 days due to high blood pressure and he was 5lbs 5oz and 18inches long. Today at his 2 months visit he was 10lbs 13 oz (15th percentile) and 23.23” long (59th percentile). I think he had IUGR but we didn’t catch it! His sister was 7lbs 9oz and 20 1/5 inches and at almost 3 she is 98 percentile for weight and 96 percentile for height. Dad is 6 feet tall and I’m 5’7”. I think genetics will play a role in how big the baby will grow.

Answer

My first son was born at 37 weeks, 5lbs 10 oz. He is now 3 and still under the 10th percentile I believe (he was born in the 3rd). Not exactly sure but I would guess hes still under 30 lbs though he hasn't seen his doctor in person to get weighed recently due to covid. His doctor has never been concerned though but I sure have!
