AnswerDear Nicole,
I do apologize for the delay in answering your question. My son was "T-boned" in a wreck last week. I forgot all about coming back online for these questions... I'm sorry for that.
You can relax... I am complete agreement with your doctor!! Early ultrasounds are quite accurate in dating pregnancies. As time has passed and we have been able to visualize more and more pregnancies through the years, we have come to know that pregnancies develop at pretty constant rates for the first 12 weeks. We know that at a certain week, the measurement of the gestational sac and/or embryo should be at a certain point to within a few cms. We also know that at a certain point we should be able to visualize certain things. For instance, at 5 weeks we should be able to see a yolk sac and a 6-7 weeks we can typically see heart activity. Now, after the 1st trimester, babies can begin to grow at different rates due to varying factors - maternal health or lifestyle, uterine conditions, etc,... So, by measuring the gestational sac and CRL (crown-rump length) and also noting the appearance of certain things, such as the yolk sac or heart activity, we can date pregnancies quite accurately to within a few days. The ultrasound would not be off by as much as three weeks.
I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
Brenda
