I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have my next appointment at 12 weeks, will I be able to know the sex of my baby and hear it's heartbeat?

It will be too soon to find out the sex at that point. 18-22 weeks is the best time, and you will have an u/s around that time because they take all kinds of measurements then.
I'm not sure when you can hear the heartbeat for sure. At 9 weeks and 14 weeks I was able to see the heartbeat on the sonogram machine, but I didn't get to hear it until my last appointment which was at 18w5d.
Good luck and congratulations!!

I think 12 weeks may be too early to know the sex of the baby but I'll be almost 12 weeks next week at my apt and I wish it were soon enough because I'm dying to know!!! The earliest I've heard is 14 wks to find out the sex, so maybe at the apt. after your next. The heartbeat, however, you will most likely be able to hear. I had a sonogram on Friday and I was in my 10th week and I heard my baby's heartbeat! It was amazing. So you will probably be able to hear it too, but most likely not know the gender yet! Good luck and Congrats!!!!!!

Usually, you can't find out the sex until 14 weeks at the earliest. Being able to hear the heartbeat depends on the baby's position. You should be able to but with this pregnancy he was moving around so much we couldn't hear it.

Sex organs in the fetus are developed by 8 wks. When is your ultrasound?
