congrats. between 18-22 weeks is when most Dr's do another ultrasound and u will be able to find out then! I felt the first flutters at 16 weeks and they turned into kicks by 18 weeks (I'm small so i noticed quicker) it all depends on your body!
good luck

Congratulations....
You probably have felt what you think is butterflies in the tummy, this is normally a sigh that the baby is moving. If you have not felt this yet then probably about 4-5 months you will defiantly feel something. Some people are more sensitive to these feelings than others, its nothing to worry about.
As for the sex of the baby, then you should be able to find that out on your next scan about 20 weeks.

Congratulations. Every one is different when it comes to feeling their baby move. I felt my daughter at around 12-13 weeks. Most people feel baby later than that though. You can know the gender at 12 weeks, but not very accurate. Otherwise you'll have to wait till the next ultrasound. 18-20 weeks. Good luck

Actually you can find out anytime after you have passed 12 weeks of pregnancy with a 3D private scan. I had mine at 12 weeks and they confirmed it was a girl which was what I said to hubby anyway. You also get a CD or DVD with your scan on it so you can show it to everyone and its a special momentum for the rest of your life of what your baby was like. Its is very realistic and you see the arms and legs, etc and my baby put her hand up like she was waving to us.
Ring a local clinic to make an appointment if your are interested. Otherwise you may/may not find out at your 20 weeks scan on the NHS. Some hospitals now have a policy of NOT saying the baby's sex.

You will probably feel the baby move anytime from 16wks onwards and it starts as little flutters and bubbles. From about 20wks you can start to feel soft kicks and then they just get stronger from there.
You can usually tell the sex of the baby at the 18-20wk ultrasound. But remember they are not always 100% correct.
If you want a headstart at knowing the sex, try googling 'chinese birth chart' and with the age of mother at conception and month of conception it can pretty accurately tell you the sex. It has been accurate for nearly everyone I know.
Good luck and congratulations on your baby!!

Well congratulations.
I'm 17 weeks and felt my first feeling (flutters) at 15 weeks and you can ask to know the gender of your baby at your next scan, thats usually around your 20 weeks.
Well good luck and have fun with it, thats all i can say, its the only time as a women you can eat what you want when you want, burp and fart whenever you feel like it.... coz your pregnant haha lol!

You should start to feel the baby move around 18-20 wks. Im 18 wks and im sure ive felt some fluttering. As for finding out the sex, my friend who is training to be a midwife says they can find out as early as 12 wks but tell you they cant as its not that accurate. You would normally find out on your 2nd scan, around 20-22 wks. Ive got mine in 4 weeks and cannot wait to find out. I bet you are excited, I am too and it still hasnt sunk in yet!

Congratulations babe, Its great seeing the little one on the screen. Everyone's different but you can start feeling the baby move anytime from 16 weeks (like little bubbles bursting in your belly) although don't worry if you don't. My proper kicks started at about 20+wks and he never stops now! You'll be able to ask the sex at your next scan (20wks) Good Luck with everything x x x

Dont find out ! I really had to hold myself back from asking but honestly its such a lovely moment when the doctor says 'congratulations' you have a baby girl or boy. Plus guessing is the most fun part of it ... I was sure I was having a boy but I ended up having a baby girl.
Good luck and enjoy pampering yourself whilst you are pregnant, just dont eat too much rubbish (I was addicted to mcdonalds) cause its very hard to loose the extra weight!!

well it you can feel the baby any time between your 16 and 23 week ....and the baby's gender well that all depends on the way the baby wants to lay when you go to your scan and if baby wants the doc to see
