No, the RU486 is the abortion pill for when you are already pregnant. The morning after pill prevents ovulation or implantation if your BC method (or lack thereof) has failed. [ Reply | More

don't worry if you can help it. my one yo dd still doesn't like to roll. she has low muscle tone but with just a couple of weeks of physical therapy is crawling and pulling up. probably would have done it eventually on her own but it helped me figure out what things to do to help her along. just keep an eye out and if not crawling by 9 months then ask pediatrician to refer you to EI so you can get pt. can't hurt! also there are books on how to exercise kids w/ motor delays that are great.
