Baby measures big???

I am 34 weeks 3days today and I'm high risk. The baby has a lil to much fluid around him. So I go once a week to get bpp sonograms (bio physical profile) an he looks great.  Very healthy looking but he's estimated to be 6lbs an 5oz already. An there saying if I go to my due date he may be 10 or 11 lbs. I'm super scared I'm going to end up with a c section because he going to be so big. Anyone else being told there baby is big? I don't have gd.... there not changing my due date but she said I'm measuring 37 weeks 3days not 34 weeks 3days.

Big doesn't mean a c-section. My daughter was 10lb 12oz when she  came out and it only took 10min of pushing no complications at all.
They also can be wrong...my sister was told her baby would be too big for vaginal delivery they said 10ish lb. she gave birth to a 7lb and few ounces.

They told me all along my first measured big. 3 or 4 weeks constantly. So I waited and my water broke at 37 weeks and she came 36 hours later. 710 and 23 long so still big and healthy I just ran out of room. I'm small my husband isn't. I was afraid of the same wait and see what your body can handle. Mine couldn't take her anymore and pushed her our nice and easy. You will see. And c sections aren't the favorite pick bit are great when they are needed. It will all work out.
