Small baby?

So I had an ultrasound at 28 weeks for complications with consistent protein at +3 in my urine my entire pregnancy and because I haven't gained but actually lost weight so I started at 120 lbs pre pregnancy and am 30+3 and am 109lbs today so anyways I haven't gotten full results till the 19th but was already schedualed for another ultrasound the 18th because he is looking quite small!!! I've never had them say this before this is baby 5 for me 1 boy and 3 girls so far my biggest was 8,13 and my smallest my last was 6,13 and I was never ever told she was small. I'm worried my placenta may not be functioning well but won't know more till my next scan on Monday and then get actual answers at my dr apt the 19th so im super nervous I don't know what they do for him or what sort of plan is in place . If he hasn't grown from the last scan will they take him early? My Dr has told me I may be hospitalized for my malnutrition from constant puking and nausua but hasn't given me any sort of end goal! She told me they don't chart babies growth till 30 weeks so I know that's why she waited to get me for another one but if he's already measuring small at 28 weeks isn't that still bad? Is there certain guidelines for babies like what is considered small and what sort of complications can come with this? I've never had a c-section or a baby born early so I'm orally freaked out!!! Has anybody gone through this or can give me any insight on what's to come! Please Id be sooo greatful ! Thanks for reading my long winded post ladies :)

See he has never measured behind or me till about 23 weeks and me measuring my fundal height at home im still only measuring 23 cm and im almost 31 weeks now :( my ultrasound it tommorow and then my results I'll be getting Tuesday! I'm scared mostly he has just stopped growing and I really don't want him taken early at all because that's a c-section I need to heal from with 5 kids and a preemie !! My youngest is only one an my next is 2 my other two are 6&8 but still it's a lot of work and I don't think I could manage it all post section

With my first he measured small the whole time, I had an ultrasound to check on him at I think 32 weeks and he was fine. He did flip head up in week 39 so I delivered him 2 days after his due date via c section at 7 lbs 12 oz. The c section was not fun but I think knowing ahead of time that it was a possibility helped a lot to prepare me. Really just the recovery *****.
