Advice please on potential risks in delivery of a slightly smaller baby

All the scans (including one at 36 weeks) are showing that my baby is between 25-50 percentiles so not really all that small. But three different midwives have felt me and measured me and are concerned that baby is small. I want to deliver at a midwife run birthing centre which only takes very low risk mothers and I wondered whether anyone knows of any risks that could be present with a slightly small baby.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Well 25% of babies would be in that size range so it can't be that unusual ! Mine were both under 7lbs and fine.
