Anyone else’s baby measured big at midwife appointment?

I had a midwife appointment on Thursday and was told that baby is measuring big, so I’ve been booked in for a growth scan. I was feeling generally okay about it until I started googling tonight. 🙈 Anyone else had this and everything turned out okay?
