Measuring big

I'm 32wks today and had another us. This is my second, my ds was a big baby at 10lb 6oz (i was expecting nothing less tbh) and this time i'm measuring big again. Big babies run in both mine and my husbands family, but this time round I'm nervous.
Had ds a natural delivery using gas/air and hypnobirthing.
Today at us i was measuring at 37wks, which is now making me nervous. Had bgt and all came back clear.
Not sure whether to be worried or not as i don't remember them telling me size info about ds until near the end.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

The estimates they give you based on ultrasounds are just that, ESTIMATES! My sister is a midwife and told me she's seen US measurements be off up to 2 pounds in either direction. Yes, you'll probably have another big baby based on genetics and your last pregnancy, but don't worry about it for now. Trust that your doctors will make sure your baby is born healthy, just as your last one was. Good luck!
