    With my first pregnancy the fundal height always measured larger than my dates. Hendrix also was huge at the 18 week scan - so big in fact that he was off the charts! I panicked and even had a further scan at 26 weeks which again showed him to be large. Im only slight and wanted a natural birth and was terrified that he wouldnt fit through my pelvis (as happene to my mother in law who is very short and had two 11 pound babies via c-section). Anyway to cut a long story short hendrix was born naturally and only weighed 6lbs 14!!! So quite a small little bub! I think you should take what they say with a grain of salt so to speak.
    Relax and enjoy and trust your motherly instinct!
