37 week ultrasound quest

Hello, I will be 38 weeks tomorrow. Last ultrasound was at 37 weeks last Thurs. to monitor growth since I was measuring 1 week behind at 20 weeks, 2 weeks behind at 31 (3lbs) and 34 (4 lbs) weeks and now at 37 weeks I was closer to 3 weeks behind. Fetal weight is estimated at 5.5lbs. All other areas of US and organs were normal. AFP triple screen and GD test normal. Dr. believes just a small baby (boy). Dr. not overly concerned. I was a tad under 5lbs at 37 week birth 33 years ago and my husband was 6.5 for a twin 38 years. ago.

QUestions: 1) What percentile is my little guy in with weight of 5.5 lbs? 2) Is this suggestive of IUGR? 3) How concerned should I be about measuring this much behind at these dates? Could he still be a decent weight at birth? Thank you for your valuable advice and happy holiday to all.
