Big Baby - fluid or growth?

Hi all,
I'm 33 weeks and have been referred for a consultant check/growth scan due to increasingly high growth bump measurements (95th, 98th and now 100th centile from last 3 readings).

Has anyone experienced this and what are the possible next steps?
They said they'll scan to establish if it's babies size or fluid/Polyhydramnios. Should i be concerned?

Thanks

I measured big on two consecutive occasions and was referred for a growth scan at 36 weeks. Baby was still measuring large - no reason, just a big baby.

I was given the option to “wait and see” or to induce. I have gone with indication at 39 weeks.

I'm 31 weeks and 95th percentile - mine is a mixture of big baby and polyhydramnios.
