The weight of the baby on plotting on the growth chart is more than 25th centile which means the weight is normal and nothing to worry

Weight alone is no criteria
What is important is the weeks of pregnancy abdominal circumference is corresponding to if there is a discrepancy of more than 2 weeks between the weeks of pregnancy by ultrasound and abdominal circumference it is diagnostic of Intra uterine growth restriction
You can have a good protein rich diet to increase the weight of the baby

Hello, baby weight depends on parents height and weight .
So if parents are short stature then child also will be like the parents.
More than the number 958gm , what matters is the centile of weight.
Can you send me the report.....and even I would like to know whether this is your first pregnancy or not.
And most importantly weight of the baby increases rapidly in last 3 months so it will increase.
In first 2 months most organ development only happens, weight doesn't increase rapidly
Next Steps
send your reports and stop taking tension
