    I wouldn't worry about it - dates are never spot on and it takes a bigger baby and a smaller baby to make an 'average' baby. Who's average????

    You have a normal baby - just not average. I know I would love to be taller, rather than average height!!!! Doesn't mean your baby will have a too big head to fit through

    The CRL only measurers the length of your baby not its size. In fact the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine in their policy 'Statement On Normal Ultrasonic Fetal Measurements' state the following "No formula for estimating fetal weight has achieved an accuracy which enables us to recommend its use."
    There are a number of posts from women saying how inaccurate the US was when predicting the birth weight of their baby
