A member asked:
I'm 35 weeks pregnant but ultrasound shows babys head at 36 w , abdomen 34, femur 33weeks 5 days... should i be concerned ? ?

No: All of those datings are within the margin of error for 35 weeks. Dating by measurements in the third trimester is quite unreliable and as you see with your baby, can vary by several weeks either way. Congratulations, and you are almost there - get lots of rest and pamper yourself before your time is up!
