Of course this is the >first time I have had an ultrasound this late in pregnancy, but I am >very curious if it could be wrong. They are PLUS or MINUS a pound. I had an ultrasound at 36 weeks before I delivered my twins to find out positions and they were worried. Said my son measured 5lbs 4 oz. and daughter measured 4lbs and thought she was going to be under 4lbs. Well they were delivered, son was 6lbs 6oz and daughter was 5lbs 2oz. I don't think they are that accurate later into the pregnancy. Good Luck to you!
