Small Baby

Cynthia
On all my visit they been telling me he's a small baby. He's growing and gaining weight but still small. I don't understand when they say he's at the 10 percentile? What does that mean. I'm 35 weeks and the baby only weighs 3.15. I'm smal myself so don't expect a big baby but I'm  worried. I seen the specialist on Monday and he said he doesn't want to take him out yet since he's grown from my last visit. If he wasn't growing then he would take him out sooner. Anyone else been told that? What does 10 percentile mean?
