just got back from doc was measuring 4 weeks big since 28 weeks, and measuring 38+ at 34+, was checked for too much fluid and its perfect. Its not me fat wise because haven't gained too much weight, he said its all baby. Baby was practicing breathing which is great, could the docs be wrong on my due date? Why else is baby so big? I was so happy he was o.k i forgot to ask doc these questions, also if born soon would he be o.k because he is breathing (practicing)?

Sometimes you just can't trust those test. I had an ultrasound done, and they told me my baby was already 8 1/2 pounds and 21 inches long. I went into labor that night, and he was born the next day weighing 6lbs2oz. and only 18 inches. Don't worry.

It's not unusual for babies to measure big til the end and then be average sized. He won't be full term until 37 weeks. Even though he's practicing breathing his lungs are fully ready. He would most likely be ok if born now but the longer he stays put the better.
