My 2nd baby was 9lb2 and Im now due on 23rdNov with my third. I had a third scan and it turns out this baby is going to be about 9.5lbs. Docs gave me the option of trying to start the labour off on 22nd with a sweep or breaking my waters. I wouldn't worry about it too much as they probably wont do anything. You may just be carrying a lot of water, and the scan isnt 100% accurate in determining babys size anyway.
I'm only 9 weeks so dont know how useful i can be but when i saw a midwife this week they said that the the size of the baby is only an accurate indicator of due date in the first trimester (because the gene that determines how long baby is doesn't develop till later on) so that's probably why they wouldn't change your due date at your stage.
i'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Good luck.
