Answer:

Their birth weight falls below 10th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

A baby is considered small for gestational age if they are considered to be too small in relation to the number of weeks of that pregnancy than they are usually supposed to be. Such a baby when compared to other babies of same gestational age would be measured to be smaller than they are. Birth weight is usually below 10th percentile.
