    Im sure my ob just doesnt tell me unless i ask, he knows how anxious i get!, but as others have said a week or so either side is really no cause for concern, i think when it gets close to two weeks then they may suggest something

    don't forget hun, they need to have smaller and larger babies to make up the 'average' baby.
    FWIW DS measured nearly 38 weeks at my 34 weeks scan...I was scared I was growing a monster.....fairly inaccurate in late stages.

    No need to worry! Imagine if we were all measured to determine our age. I would be about 10 years old!! lol. Babies, like adults come in all shapes and sizes. They're not all identical and measure the same. Bubs is a week behind the 'average' not a week behind what she's supposed to be itms. She growing just how she's meant to

    When you ladies say it like that i dont feel so awful.

    In a way atleast im glad shes not a monster (although she feels like she is), i dont think i could push out a 10 pound baby! LOL
