Hi
i think I have understood your concern.

There are following possibilities-
1] Wrong dates ( but you are confident of dates)
2] Constitutionally large baby
3] USG machine data variations
4] Gestational Diabetes.

I would like to know if the findings were same for USG at 6 to6 weeks or at 12 weeks gestation. It carries more importance.

Please rule out gestational diabetes by doing 75 gram glucose load test. Do blood sugar levels 2 hours after glucose load, if above 140 mg% then start with diet , exercise and MNT_ medical nutrition therapy.

please do follow up USG, at 4 weeks interval to asses growth parameters.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
