38w7d BPD still small

I can't believe I'm still pregnant. Tomorrow will be 39 weeks on the dot. They didn't talk about induction now, but said I should have the baby within 2 weeks. My husband says they can't make me go to any appointments. I'm supposed to go next Wednesday to another one. Measurements are still not good.

31w7d everything was fine: 
  • BPD was 8.01 cm (32w2d).
  • AC was 28.03 cm (32w3d).
  • FL was 6.52 (33w5d).
  • FHR was 142 bpm.
  • EFW was 2052 gr.

At 34w7d the head was small: 
  • BPD was 33 weeks.
  • AC was 34 weeks.
  • FL was 35w6d. 
  • EFW was 2400 gr.
This meant that in 3 weeks, the head had only grown about 6d, the abdomen 1w6d, and the leg 2w2d.

At 36w7d the measurements were a bit better:
  • BPD was 8.77 cm (35w4d).
  • AC was 31.39 cm (35w3d).
  • FL was 7.14 cm (36w4d). 
  • EFW was 2776 gr.
The head was 1w3d behind, the abdomen was 1w4d behind, and the FL was 3d behind. However, the head had grown 2w4d, the abdomen had grown 1w3d, and the leg had grown 5d.

At 38w7d things are small again:
BPD is 8.72 cm (35w2d).
AC is 32.87 cm (36w6d).
FL is 7.44 cm (38w1d).
EFW is 3081 gr.

My due date was pushed back to the 6th of January and is now pushed back another week to the 13th of January. The doctor said I need to have the baby within 2 weeks though. What this means is that from my last appointment 2 weeks ago, the head has shrunk 2 days. The abdomen has grown 1w3d. The leg has grown 1w4d. I don't understand what's going on. The baby is head down. I know in breach babies the BPD can be off.

Money
  • Today I paid 195,830.
  • Doctor's visit: 32,260. 
  • Ultrasound 100,000. 
  • NST 63,570. 
  • Tricare (my insurance) paid 195,830. Out of pocket was 0.
