In response to I am 21 weeks along and had a Ultra Sound done and was told the posted by scooby11:

Ultrasound is notorious for being less than 100% accurate. Sizes are based on averages - so if your baby has slightly longer legs, it will throw off the measurements and make it look like your baby weighs more as well!

I would not worry at all. Even if it turns out that your baby is bigger than average, you can still have a vaginal birth in almost every situation.
