    I'm measuring about 2 weeks ahead right now; did a growth scan and baby is over 90th percentile. My doctor is comfortable leaving me for natural labor and not intervening with an induction or C-section.  But, as I've heard a lot, growth scans at this stage can be off by 2 lbs either way, so try not to stress!

    I wouldn't worry, could be the positioning of baby too.
