Growth scan today

So today I had a growth scan because I have OC/ICP and they wanted to check that he growing well. I'm 34 +3 weeks and they said that he's growing very well, above average at 6lb 2oz already. I'm so relieved to hear this and know that he's doing so well, only now I'm a little scared at just how big he could get lol, I'm having images of me having to push out a 9-10lb baby in 5 weeks time lol.
Has anyone else had big babies? And if so how was delivery?

My daughter was 9lbs 1oz at birth. She got stuck on the way out so my midwife had to cut me a good bit and pull her out. Thank God for the epidural..lol other than that the delivery was fine. Only pushed for about 30 mins. but everyone is different and I'm sure not all women have issues with big babies. My 2nd is due May 6th and they are saying she's going to be big too. Also when they measure in the ultrasound it's just an estimate. My first they said she'd only be 7lbs so I was like wow when I heard 9lbs..lol
