Fundal height isn't directly related with baby's size and I know many Obs who dont even take measurements for that reason. Fundal height changes with the baby's position, the amount of fluid, length (as opposed to weight) and yes, size can be a contributor but not often. You may find you go backwards with measurements so don't be alarmed if you do. Bigger babies are not harder to birth... in fact many women I have spoken to (including my mum) said her bigger babies were easier to push out! Even scans can be innacurate especially the later ones when baby's genes have taken over, they are not going to be average - they will be more or less than it and that all makes for an average...
csab sounds like your babe might have been posterior, you can get a premature urge to push with possie babies and they can also end up c/s as they get termed 'failure to progress' sadly. Optimal fetal positioning is a great help and keeping off the bed.
