  I just had a growth scan done last week at 36+5 and baby weighed 6lb 9oz. I think that your measurement is right on! Babies go through growth spurts too. And ultrasound measurements aren't always 100% accurate. Sounds to me like you are right where you need to be!

  @CynthiaY me too! I'm petite myself and if he's already almost 7lbs and I still got 3 weeks to go I'm scared! I hope they are wrong for both of us!

  Babies gain about 1/2 a pound a week toward the end

  @excitedforoctober I'm scared too :-(
  But she checked me and said that I was already 1-2 cm and 70% effaced!

  @Valentinasmommy how much did she weigh when she was born?
  
  @CynthiaY I was checked at 35 weeks and was 1cm 50% effaced, hopefully tomorrow I'll know if I made more progress! Maybe we will go early and our babies wont be big chunkers! Lol

  My baby measured about 5lbs5oz at 35weeks & they said he's actually a little on the smaller side, so that sounds perfectly normal in my opinion.
