I'm 35 weeks and the baby is five pounds and she telling me I'm starving the baby...I thought that's just about right on track

That is what it should be at this stage. Baby gains a half pound a week in the last 6-8 weeks, so don't let her get to you.

Yeah I agree. My cousin and sister had two babies each and they were around 5-6lbs. Each delivery was around 40 weeks. So you're fine. Every pregnancy is different.

uhm, what?!! the baby gains about 1/2 to 1 lb a week now. it's not like the baby is full grown now.
