I live in Thailand and am 34 weeks' pregnant with my first baby. My doctor has commented that I have "a big baby". His comment appears to be based on the size of the fundus and the diameter of the baby's head which at 34 weeks was 9cm. He said this head size was normal for a 38 week old fetus. Is this correct? In addition is it possible for a doctor to comment on the size of the baby based on the above information? He made me worry whether I would be able to deliver the baby naturally.

Many thanks
