Nothing per se...measurements can be off for a number of reasons including LOs position.  If your doc wasn't worried I wouldnt be

Fundal height measurements can be way off, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I think they consider anything within two weeks (so for you, 25-29 wk) normal.

Please fOrgive my pg brain, I meant measuring 35wks and I am 37. I just wanted to make sure the due date wasn't off, bc I really don't want 5 more wks of this vs 3!

I ran into the same thing at one point during my third trimester...I was was measuring 33wks, but was right around 35wks. The doctor said that ideally they look for you to be about or close to the same cm as you are weeks, plus or minus 2. Like another poster wrote, if the doctor isnt concerned then don't let yourself worry about it. This can vary week to week and your baby could go through a little growth spirt to catch up or it could be just the way the baby was positioned so they couldnt get an accurate measurement. At 39 weeks last Friday for me, I was measuring at 40wks...so it changes all the time.
