how accurate was your growth scan?

I had to have a growth scan at 32 weeks as I was measuring big. Baby was 4lb 10oz which meant I was a week ahead on the chart so this was my new norm.
39 weeks now and going for a growth scan today as I am measuring 2 weeks behind and dropped from 90th centile to 50th.
They said they will induce me if baby hasn't grown. I was induced with my first so really hoping to go natural this time unless baby is not growing, obviously.
So, if you had a growth scan late in pregnancy, how accurate was it?!

Mine was exactly spot on. They said 8lb 4 and that's what he was!

DS was ten days late. Scan on the Monday morning said he weighed 7lb. He was born the following evening weighing 9lb 5oz. Horribly inaccurate.

Not even remotely accurate. I was booked in for CS as they told me dd1 could be up to 10lb 13oz and they did not want me to labour naturally.
So I had ELCS with 12 hours notice for an 8lb 6oz baby. I then vbac the next two and ignored all growth scans. Waste of time.
