You can tell anything from 16weeks but the best time to tell is 20weeks this is why your offered a scan at 20weeks!
I really want to know what I'm having also, I feel like I'm having a boy but won't know till 20th feb which is when my 20week scan is xx
Melissa is absolutely right. Ultrasounds can detect the sex of the fetus between 16 - 20 weeks, with 20 weeks being the best gestational age to detect sex.
I found out with my two at 17 weeks and I am now 19 weeks pregnant with # 3 and don't have an ultrasound sound scheled yet but I go to the docs next week and hopefully they will schedule on for me so good luck keep posted
Hello my name is elisa I am 17 and I am 15 weeks pregnant and I was woundering because I have been thinging that I want to breastfeed my baby when it comes... wut I'm basically asking is it normal for a 17 to breastfeed... has anyone done that this young... I sort of feel weird but.. I have been really thinking about it and want my child to be breastfed... if anyone has done this at my age please let me no... I want to no if it is normal for me at this age to want to breastfeed my child when it comes!!
Women have been breastfeeding since the dawn of time. And they had kids young then. So yeah. Breastfeed.
Thank you I have always wanted to breastfeed because it's a closer bond between you and your baby.. I've just never known a lot of teens who breastfed!!
Yeah, of course check with your doctor and what not. Just in case you are on meds or whatever. But age-wise you should be good. :)
Yeah I'm a guy answering this but I'm a daddy too
If you can, do it. Its not only a bonding experience with the child, but its great for the baby physically. It kick starts their immune system. There are so many health benefits. My wife LOVED the connection she had with her baby when breastfeeding.
One thing to think about... again, funny from a guy I suppose... get an electronic breast pump. It's a life saver. It allows you to pump when you are "full" and the baby isn't ready to nurse. It was the single best thing we bought when preparing for the baby.
Any woman who has suffered through mastitis can tell you how painful it can be. Obviously, I cant... but I can tell you my wife had it once, was miserable, and then after the pump, never again.
You can freeze the milk and store a reserve... this is great when others are watching your baby or, again, baby is hungry but you aren't ready.
By an electric one. We got one that had been used but cleaned and sterilized at a local midwife clinic. Was about $200 or so. Might sound steep... but again, of all the things we bought, dollar for dollar, that kept my wife healthy and let her pump when she needed to and the baby wasn't there (at work for ex).
My 2 cents.
Thanks!!
That really does help coming from a guys opinion.. thank you very much!!
If you want to breastfeed, go for it! Check with your doctor to make sure, like mafiaangel180 said. Breastfeeding can be a great way to bond with your baby. I'm sure the doctor can give you more information. I know the hospital here in the town where I live has classes for pregnant women about breastfeeding. Good luck and hope your pregnancy goes well! :)
Thank you all very much for the input!! It really helped me out.. and I no that if I'm able to breastfeed I will deffinetly do it...
There are lots of benefits to breastfeeding. :DQuote:

I'm going to be 17 weeks on Thursday I have been feeling the baby move.. it feels like butterflies in my tummy all the time!! All during the day.. this is my first pregnancy! And I was underweight starting! 5 "5 and at 110 lbs!! My question is if I'm feeling the movement and I have been feeling it for about a week and a half! So how long should it take until I start feeling the kicking..
Around 20 weeks (give or take)
Even if you are underweight starting.. I hurd it could be earlier.. I just wanted to no if people have experienced it early..
I don't really know what you mean, but being underweight doesn't make the baby grow any faster if that's what you mean.
The average week of gestation to feel the baby move is 20 weeks. Every woman is different. Some women who are very tiny feel it about 18 weeks, yet others not until 25 weeks.
It is all individual. You will know when you feel that baby kick.
Being underweight does not mean you will feel it sooner, it just means that you were underweight.
I hurd differently from doctors... saying when you are underweight.. the baby has less room to grow! If you no what I mean.. compare to the women who are average size or bigger they have a harder time feeling the movements because the baby still has lots of room to grow.. now do you no what I mean?
Just because you are underweight doesn't mean you have a smaller uterus!
Just to let you know, I am also underweight, and my doctor said nothing about me being smaller if you know what I mean.
Why are you so conserened, you will feel it when you feel it.
Because when your underweight... your body only grows so much... and like me I haven't been gaining that much weight... so the baby is just getting bigger inside me.. but there is less room to grow.. then if I were to be average size or bigger!
That still isn't what I mean!!
Women who are overweight most definitely have a harder time feeling baby. And women who are underweight can feel it early. The AVERAGE is 20 weeks. That is the key word here.
If you don't feel a big kick before 20 weeks, don't freak out.
I'm smaller then the average weight the baby only has certain amount of room in my belly compare to a lot of others!! Now does that help
I no when your usually suppose to start kicking my question wasn't that./.. it was that I do feel movement and I have been feeling it for almost 2 weeks now... I asked how long from that point does it usually take for the baby to start kicking.. I no it usually is around 20 weeks.. but if you feel the movement and you are skinny starting is there a good chance that it can start kicking soon... that was my question...
Wow... that's all I've got to say.
OK well that's rude I was just asking a question... I need people to answer it.. if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all!!
Hun, you are already feeling the baby kicking, it's just right now it feels like a flutter more than a kick. Every day, every week will bring on new feelings, and those feelings will be stronger week by week. But every woman is different. I was small once too. With my first I felt fultterings throughout the pregnancy and with each pregnancy the flutters turned into kicks, then into full out belts in the tummy.
Again, the baby is already "kicking" It's not kicking in the sense that it is using it's feet to kick you, but that it is stretching, moving, etc.
People have been answering you. It is you who has been rude to those of us who are trying to help you. Just chilax and listen to those of us who have been there, some of us more than once or twice.
Listen I'm sorry if you didn't understand what I was trying to say but it seems like you do from what you had to say no I was not being rude I asked a question you I no usually around the time when the baby starts to kick but I didn't ask that question that's what I have been trying to say!! Listen there is no reason for me to be rude OK.. I don't come on here to be rude and judge people.. I help answer ppl's questions and... I like the same help back sometimes...

Just trying to help here, but maybe the answers haven't been clear enough for you.Quote:

The answer may not be what you want to here, but every woman is unique inside and out... so we can't give you an exact answer.
I didn't say J_9 was being rude I got my answer from J_9.. I was talking about u... that wasn't my question for the 5th time!! I'm not here to argue OK.. all I did was ask a question.. if your going to come on here and say I was being rude then please don't try and answer my questions... there are a lot of other people who will answer it and not try to prove me wrong!!Quote:

I am nearly 17weeks and have been feeling baby move since week 14 this is my 2nd pregnancy, I am overweight so it doesn't really make any difference whether your underweight or over weight it happens when it happens
First of all, when did I call you rude?Quote:
