over sized baby? help!!

I'm 32 weeks and 4 days and had midwife yesterday my midwife says it's normal to be measuring at 34 weeks but if she's still showing bigger in 2 weeks she will send me off for a scan, is this normal is there a chance my dates are wrong or she's just big, going by measurements she's weighting about 5-6 lbs already, feeling huge, uncomfortable, anxious and scared??

I was told my first would be about 5 or 6 lbs,  If that didn't worry me being too small,  but once they weighed her she wAs whopping 9 lbs 03 oz and 21 1/2 long,  very healthy though I was only 5 foot tall,  I lived through it,  and you will too,  bigger baby's have healthy affects. :-) either way we worry,  even though mine was big I still was afraid if I dropped her she would break lol.

Do not worry about the sizebof your baby.. if she feels uncomfortable inside she make the steps to be born( they start to produce the hormons which starts labor) anyway as long as your baby is healthy do not worry about anything;)

My little man is about one week bigger then should be but my doctor has no concerns yet. I'm 28 weeks I wouldn't stress too much. Hope this helped

I am actually going to see a maternal fetal medicine doctor today for the exact same thing. My doctor is worried that my little one is going to be big as well. Though I was told there is no test that is very accurate. The ultrasound I'm having today can be off by 1-2 lbs. that is a lot for a babies weight. I'm not going to stress about it because either way she's coming and there's nothing I can do about it. All I wish for is a healthy baby. Don't worry, best of luck :)
