small babies?

Has any ones doctor told them that they have small babies and they be wrong? My doctor told me that i have small babies because i am a smaller women. My daughter was small she was 5lbs 6 oz and 19 in. But is there still a chance this baby will be a 7 pounder?

My doc with my first said he'd be shocked if my daughter was even 6 lbs and she was 8 lbs 8oz. And the doc for my second said my son wouldn't be more the 7 lbs and he was 9 lbs 1 oz. doctors are wrong a lot of the time guessing weight. I'm barely over 5 foot so besides my weight I'm considered small
