Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The weight of baby can be influenced by stature of the mother and father.
The weight in between 10th percentile and 90th percentile of the expected weight can be taken as within normal range only.
So you continue using regular medicines, take sufficient rest, fluids, maintain normal blood pressure.
With this some amount of increase in the baby weight can be expected.
Take care.
