Should I worry that the doctor wants to do a sonogram at 37 weeks pregnant?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) August 11th, 2011 from iPhone

I had a routine check up today and when I asked the doctor if he can estimate the size of my baby he told me I’m not measuring very big at all and he doesn’t think the baby will be big. He also mentioned during the next 5 weeks is when the baby will gain the most weight. But the part that is starting to concern me is that he set up an ultrasound appointment in 2 weeks to see how big the baby is and check his position. Is this normal? My friend, who went to the same obgyn, didn’t have a sonogram late in her pregnancy. So she filled my head with worries about my son’s size! If the dr was concerned I would assume he would express those concerns with me. Right?
