Off The Record
Doctors Stunned By What Appeared On The Ultrasound Screen
At twenty weeks pregnant, Emily Foster of Kent, England, went in for a regular ultrasound expecting to see the usual: small kicks, a beating heart, and perhaps a wave from her baby girl, whom she was excited to welcome into the world.
But what she and the physicians witnessed astounded them.
While performing the ultrasound, the sonographer looked at the monitor all puzzled, but then she smiled and said, “Wait a minute. Is that hair?” One of the doctors approached closer and said jokingly, “Looks like you’ve got a little rock star in there — she might just skip the baby baldness entirely!”
In fact, the ultrasound revealed thin threads that resembled seaweed undulating underwater.
When baby Ivy was born, about two months later, her hair was as long and thick as a child’s at two years old. It was unlike anything the physicians and nurses had ever seen. Additionally, they informed the young woman that since hair begins to grow in the womb as early as 30 weeks, it was normal for babies to be born with hair. The scan revealed Ivy’s hair, which was extraordinary because it was remarkably long for a newborn.
When Emily’s story spread online, a lot of people reacted to the photos of the ultrasound showing Ivy’s hair. Some parents even shared similar experiences with one person writing, “My baby was born with such long hair I had to trim it right after we got home so it wouldn’t be in his eyes.” Another shared, “My baby girl was born with bangs and left the hospital already rocking bows in her hair!”
Each child is a tiny miracle all by themselves. The distinctive appearance of Baby Ivy serves as a simple reminder that the small wonders of nature can take many different forms.
