I had a growth scan ultrasound today I'm. 33 weeks 5 day and the weight was 5.5 pounds they said 56 percentile I am delivering. June 4 my question isn't. That a little big for my gestional week if so what will they do deliver earlier?

50% would be average, and you're at 56%, so I'd say the size is good, not big at all, and certainly not measuring big enough to deliver early.
Also, those measurements can be off by up to 2lbs in either direction. DD1 measured 5lbs 6 oz at 34 weeks, which put her on track to be 7.5-8lbs when I was induced at 39 weeks. She was 6lbs 11 oz at birth.

DS measured 3-4 weeks ahead and I was still induced at 39 weeks per the norm for my doc with insulin controlled GD. He was almost 9.5 lbs. He was big, but not too big for a vaginal birth.
Congrats your child is measuring on time for gestational age.
I grow big ones. DS was measuring 5 lbs 13 oz at 32w0d, DD was measuring 5 lbs 3 oz at the same gestational age. DS was measuring 8 lbs 1 oz at 36w, DD was 8 lbs 11 oz at 36w3d. DS was measured one last time, at 39w1d, 7 hours before birth and was 10 lbs 2 oz, he was born at 10 lbs 0.5oz. DD was born at 37w0d at 9 lbs 2 oz. Both times our final u/s were very accurate.
To answer your second question, no they will not induce for size. I was told this with DS and he was 10 lbs. DD only arrived at 37 weeks since I was contracting every 1-2 minutes and I was at risk for uterine rupture. I had those contractions on NST at 36w3d and the fact that they were stronger and still that close together at my 37w0d NST they sent me to L&D. After less than an hour with fluid they weren't decreasing and I was rushed into the OR.
Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.
I once had a picture until the trolls showed up.
