Accuracy of Gestational Age

Hi Mummies. Just wondering if you ever had doubts on the dates of ur pregnancy? I’m in a LDR, so the window period for pregnancy is significantly narrowed down to a specific date when I have intercourse with my hubby. Initially, dr said i’m 10wks. But seems like the pregnancy term moved agn? Its now 11wks? I understand dates are calculated based on size of fetus, etc. But is there a possibility for the baby to grow faster than its supposed to during first trimester? Or should i challenge my dr in terms of pregnancy duedate? The thing is, i haven’t had much of appetite until much recently, but my overall weight seems to have come down by 1kg+. So we are really confused as to whether the pregnancy dates are correct. Should i be concern? Coz my dr told me i can start taking multivitamins, etc and stop folic acid by wk12. If the dates not accurate, will this have an impact to the baby?

There is no impact. EDD is just an estimate.
