Measuring diff?

So I went to the doc today and I'm 30 weeks. I'm measuring at 33 weeks and his head is down/low. The docs said they don't know what my due date is anymore but that I'm 3 weeks ahead. What does that mean?

I was measuring ahead and it was just fluid luckily my son was born weighing 6.3oz so not a big baby at all.

At that point an ultrasound won't tell you much. It's not as accurate further along and the variation in sizes of babies that far along means even if they could give an accurate size they still wouldn't really know how far along you were. Early ultrasounds would be the best thing to go by.
