38 weeks but measuring at 40 weeks?

Has this happened to anyone? I went to the ultrasound last week and baby weighted 8.8 pounds at 37 weeks now when they went to measure my stomach I'm measuring at 40 weeks what are my chances to having him sooner then past my due date? I got induced with my little girl 5 yrs ago and I really want to go into labor without getting induced this time around ... Any one else went thro something like this?

Maybe it's because weeks are often counted from the first day of your last period, not conception - it adds about 2 weeks to the number. Confuses me all the time
