The reason for the ultrasound is to answer the questions that you are posing; i.e. Is the baby too big? Is there too much amniotic fluid? The most common reason for the size of the uterus being bigger than the dates is "No Reason". Then behind that come the other two reasons that you suggested. You need to wait and see what the ultrasound says.
