I am 37 weeks but i have been alternating between my midwife and a doctor ever 2 weeks for the past while. So I am scanned every 4 weeks cause I have had complications. Anyway... I am always measuring a bit bigger whrn the midwife measures then when the doctor scans me I am measuring absolutely perfectly. It can all just be fluid :) Don't worry too much and good luck.
