An unborn baby’s fingerprints will begin to form between 6 to 14 weeks, though they will not be fully formed until around 6 months. There are factors in the womb that will contribute to how these unique patterns appear, which include the location of the foetus and the amount of movement he or she performs while in the womb.

By six months old a baby’s muscles should have strengthened, and they should have mastered the ability to roll over, even several times at once.

You should swallow the pill at the same time every day, whether or not you have sex. If you miss one or more pills, or start a pill pack too late, you may need to use another method of birth control, like a condom.

Types of non-hormonal contraception that prevent pregnancy include diaphragms, caps and also copper-bearing intrauterine device (CU-IUD). Non-hormonal methods prevent pregnancy by preventing the sperm and egg from meeting.
