The fundal measurement is pretty subjective but I was measuring big with my first the whole time andhe was 8lbs 15ozs and was starting to measure big again at 20 weeks

Don't worry just because your baby might be big it doesn't mean that you are not gonna be able to have it vaginally if that's what you wish for.

It's my second, daughter was born 6pounds 2oz at 36 weeks but she measured right on hole pregnancy. An two different midwifes checked they said if he is still measuring big at next appointment they'd do ultrasound. Just concerned probably nothing to worry about but can't help it.

My aunt had a "big" baby but actually gave birth a month early and her newborn baby girl was over 8 lbs ! But years ago it might have just been that they were not very accurate. Chances are everything is fine. Some people have "small" babies some are "big" according to what's "normal" but seriously .... Who's to judge what is normal and what is not when it comes to  those things ?
