Don't feel like that! You're so far along I don't think it will matter! Some babies are 6pounds when born others are 10 pounds, so I'm sure the measurements like valerie21 said it doesn't matter! Tell your baby daddy these things because I'm sure he's just q little overwhelmed at the moment. :-) your soooo close to seeing your baby!!! Congratulations

My doctor stoped measuring me at 34 weeks because he said it isn't accurate at ALL after that point. I would tell your BD that so it hopefully eases his mind. As for you,  Im sure your due date is the same.

Measurments are just approximatelythw size the baby should be. Baby could just be a small baby, nothing wrong with that. It doesn't change your due date.
