I measured 3-4 weeks ahead in size throughout my pg to Charlie and he was born 7lb 14oz, so not a big bubba at all. He did have a big head, though - 39cms, but my FS said that at 34 weeks all they can measure is the femur and the head circumference as they can't see the entire baby, so no one will ever be able to give you an accurate determination of how big your baby is at that stage of your pregnancy.
And as Lisa said, delivering a 8lb 1oz (DS3) and a 6lb 2oz (DD) was equally difficult for me (or easy depending on whether you're a half-full sort of person) and women routinely birth 10lbs all the time (my MIL was one). I have also heard of heaps and heaps of women in this very forum who've been convinced to have a c/s due to a 'big' baby only to have normal sized babies, so I am understandably dubious about most claims from medicos of 'huge' babies.
