When did you hear your baby's heart beat?

Had my second baby appointment today, I'm 10 weeks and 6 days (approx) after i got a bunch of papers for tests and ultrasound etc they put me in a room that had pap smear stuff all ready on the desk and a Doppler thing, so I was pretty excited thinking I'd get to hear my little nuggets heart but then they came in and said I wasnt far along enough and to go to the other room where the Dr is, I was soo disappointed I really wanted to hear it and my next appointment isn't for another month :(

oh and what usually happens at prenatal appointments? Dr just asked a couple questions, I feel like there should be more to it..

Another thing, I asked about when I could find out the gender and the dr told me to ask at the lab? I didn't understand and he was rushing me quite a bit so I didn't ask what he meant ..
