I know how you feel, I've had 3 "sizing" ultrasounds because I've got gestation diabetes and they wanted to check she wasn't getting humungus. Well at the last one at 36 1/2 weeks weeks the ultrasound tech said she was right on the average at 3.2kg about 7.5 pounds, then I went and saw the doctor a week later and he said she could be very big, at least 9 1/2 to 10 pounds, after that I give up, I thought well whatever she is that's ok with me. I was thinking she would be under nine pounds, I don't feel anywhere as big as I was with my other girls who where all over 10 pounds. My GD is now good, so I'd say she wouldn't of put on too much more then she was at the last scan.
I say don't worry about the size, you'll cope with whatever size he or she is. On the plus side I find that big babies feed really well.
I think doctors are hopeless at estimating weights before birth, I'll now in a few days how off they can be
I hope you have a great delivery and I know your baby will be beautiful no matter what the size
