Measuring small

So my FH measurments have been all over the place since 20weeks. I'm 34 weeks and 4 days and I got measured today at my appointment and I measured 30weeks. And thats what I measured at my last appt(when I was 31weeks). They asked for an ultrasound next week..
is it possible that they're measuring wrong? Or could it be the position he is laying in, or maybe im carrying him lower and further back?  Because last I knew he was right on schedule for development and everything else.

I've been measuring small since they started measuring and then for the last few check ups I haven't been any bigger than 33-34 cm.. I'm 39weeks.  I know my dates are right and my midwife isn't concerned.  She thinks I'm just very compact and wider.  I haven't had any ultrasounds since the 20 week anatomy scan.   I know I'm nervous about it since with both my boys I measured right on target all the way through.   She estimates her about 7 lbs from the feel of her position.

I'm currently measuring 5 cm behind, and at my last ultrasound they estimated baby to be in the 40th percentile. My doctor doesn't seem concerned at all because my husband and I are both on the small side. I'm planning to keep asking about my FH at every appointment though...want to make sure our peanut is growing well.
