Life is never exact: Ultrasound dating scans in the first trimester, such as at 8-11 weeks, are accurate... meaning plus or minus one week. Especially if the doctor feels the fetus is growing appropriately for gestational age through the course of the pregnancy, the dating estimates were likely very accurate. November 19 and Nov. 24 "are the same day" when it comes to estimating pregnancy dates. Life is never exact.
