Measuring big? Help?

At my last appointment I measuring at 31 weeks and I was only 27 weeks. I'm 29 weeks now and seeing my doctor on Thursday. My GD test came back perfectly fine. Am I just going to have a big baby? I was 8.9 and my boyfriend was 8.5. Are the odds good our baby will just be big due to genetics?

Not only was my son measuring 4 weeks ahead but my fundal height was also 4 weeks ahead consistently. No GD either. However my son was an 8 lb preemie. Couldnt imagine how much he wouldve weighed full term :O

My sister mesure big all the time with average 7 pound kids. Her issue is either extra water. Or mainly her uterus is just huge I guess.  She's always mesure huge. I wouldn't panic unless dr feels like it's a issue
