Growth scans become less accurate the further along in pregnancy you get

Answer

At 36+3 little man’s ultrasound said he was 7.1lbs. He was born at exactly 40 weeks at 7.7lbs

Answer

Mine were off by a good bit. 38 weeks, baby girl was measuring a whopping 8.5lbs. The doc thought she may have even been a bit bigger. However, she was born at 39 weeks 2 days, weighing only 6lbs 14 oz. She was massively tall though at 21 inches.

Answer

At 36+4 they said 6lbs 6oz. She was born 37 weeks exact 5lbs 12.8oz... so not so accurate!

Answer

At 36w baby was already measuring 8lb had another at 37w6d the night my water broke and they said he was measuring 9lb 6oz. He was born weighting 8lb 6oz

Answer

My girl was estimated 8lbs at 38 weeks but due to having a 10lb baby previously that resulted in shoulder dystocia, OB doesn't want to take any risks and wants me to be induced ASAP.  I'm currently 39+2. 
I dont know whether to believe the scan and accept induction or just wait to give birth naturally. 
My belly is rather large and has always measured 5 weeks ahead 😬
