When I read about the accuracy of u/s, it sounded like it was most accurate in first trimester, in terms of dating, and less so 2nd or 3rd.  I would think that most babies grow at their own speed.  If something was wrong, or they were concerned, surely they would have said something?  I am sure all is well.  You are so close to meeting your little girl.  Hang in there, almost there.

I called the advice nurse today and she said when I go in for my NST at 3:45 to bring it up to the nurse and she can ask the dr. on call... I just am ready to have her now and see that she is ok... ready for a c section next week.  I don't care about the vbac anymore I just want to be able to stop worrying!  I am 38w today...  I think next Friday would be a lovely day to have a baby!

Don't worry Meli, the u/s tech has to tell you if she saw something wrong..  On my growth u/s, everything wasn't measuring the same either..they told me it was perfectly normal.

Don't worry. My baby's head is measuring 2 weeks big.  My doc said some people just have bigger heads and it's still in the normal range.  I guess the untrasounds at this point can vary by 30 days or so?
