slightly panicking!!

I have just been to see my midwife and she is sending me for a growth scan tomorrow,  as I am 34 weeks but measuring 37 weeks!

Her gut feeling is that there is nothing major wrong but is estimating a big baby!
Has this happened to anyone else? If so what was the outcome? Feeling nervous!

The measuring difference is it only when u r that far long or also on ur first few appointments? My doc said u can be off 5 days...forward or backwards but yall ladys r 3 weeks apart.

I have been measuring two weeks early since I was abt 26wks, Tuesday I measured at 41wks and I was only 38wk 5days she sent me for a growth ultrasound yesterday and they estimate my baby to be 9lbs and 10ozs.... My son was the same way so I believe the ultrasound is very accurate

I am 33+5 and at my 32 wk scan baby was measuring 35wks. They said it is probably meaning I'm having a big baby. They said at this far along they don't change due dates or anything. I figure if get cones early than so be it! I'm ready :-)
