Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lesser than expected baby weight is suggestive of a growth retardation. She needs to have a stress test to find out if there is any problem with the fetus. In case the test comes non reactive then early induction of labor may be considered.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
