polyhydramnios and large baby

I have been seeing a midwife amd she sent me to see a perinatologist. The perinatologist told me I have severe polyhydramnios with AFI 32. All factors were ruled out: I dobt have GD, baby is swallowing fine and tummy and bladder have fluid in them. My baby is also measuring pretty large, her head and belly are in the 90th percentile but she couldn't give me a reason for that. She looks healthy. The perinatologist said she will weigh about 9.5-10.5 lbs when she is born. I am 30 weeks and huge. I am 21 with a small frame, besides my ever growing belly. I eat healthy, I am a super health conscious vegan. Anyone else have this? If so, how were your deliveries? And how was baby?

I am also small. I ave very large babies with no "reason", my first was 10# and I had her natural. Your body makes the baby the size that's right for your body. My twins were 7# each. Don't worry. I also ate healthy and had no GD. This pregnancy is the same way. 22 weeks measuring 27.
