you should hear the heartbeat by 10wks and the movements you probably won't feel right now. i didn't feel them with my oldest until i was 5mths and with my daughter i felt them around 4mths but i knew then what it was, however im pregnant now and not much farther than you and i havent felt anything

Dont worry! your baby isn't even an inch and weighs less than an ounce.. My doctor told me not to start worrying until the baby weighs AT LEAST a pound.. so your baby still has about 15 ounces to gain before you are going to feel anything.. I wouldn't start worrying about it until 28 weeks at the soonest.. Even though you have been pregnant before every pregnancy and baby is different.. This one might kick you and punch you in the back or you might have enough room that you dont feel it up until the baby is bigger.. I didn't start feeling frequent movement until 28 weeks.. and that is because the baby is bigger and running out of room.

at 9 weeks you do not feel much besides gas.  i am 15 weeks and feel small things but still do not know if it is movement or not.

well im on my sec baby...(third preg) And i didnt hear a heartbeat utnil 16 weeks... and didnt start feeling flutters until my 14-15th week!! Even then i found it hard to distinguish between movement and gas..thats was with all of the movement until  i was about 21-22 weeks i guess!!
