Ultrasound baby weight accuracy

Is ultrasound baby weight accurate? I m 37w and Dr told me my baby is at 3.2kg, i wonder if baby weight via ultrasound is accurate coz i dont gain much weight though... And Dr also said, for normal delivery, baby should not be > 3.5kg, so i might be induced before EDD :s, else baby will be too big for normal delivery Appreciate your experience sharing!

My baby was estimated to be 3.3kg at 35 wks and 3.8kg at 38 wks but came out 3.65kg at 39+2 wks. I was also supposed to be induced at 37 wks due to baby's size but we decided to do e-csect instead as I'm petite size. It was a gd decision indeed as on the day itself we found out tt baby's cord was ard his neck which wld hve increased chances of emergency csect if I were to try natural birth.
