In fact, 19 weeks ago would not be the day the doctors think you conceived; it would be the day they think you began bleeding with the last period you had before getting pregnant.

Pregnancy is dated by doctors as from the first day of the last menstrual period.  Never mind that you are bleeding that day and four or five days after it, they still begin the count then.  This is because it is a visible signal, when ovulation and conception are secret and hidden from view.

If a doctor did an ultrasound and said "You're 19 weeks pregnant," he was talking about counting the medical way, which is from two weeks or so before you conceived (i.e., the average time from your period to ovulation).

Did you get the 19 week date from an ultrasound?  (I hope) or was it just from counting off the first day of your last period if you know that day?

If it was from an ultrasound, by the 19-week point it can be a little off, but only by a few days max.  You would count back about 17 weeks to see who you were sleeping with then.  That person would be the strongest candidate for being the dad.

However, and it is a big however, if you had a lot of partners in a short time, sperm can live up to five days in your system, so counting back is not foolproof in any way.  

You'll need to get a DNA test done when the baby is born, to be sure.  It's only fair to all the candidates for Daddy, and especially to the baby.

Well the 19 weeks ago is the the day the doctors believe you conceived. However, if you had multiple partners within that week, there is nothing you can do but wait for a paternity test. Also, sometimes Drs can be off, so I honestly thing the best thing you can do is make an educated guess and wait until the baby comes for a test.
