When Emily Foster from Kent, England, went in for a routine ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant, she predicted to see the usual\u2014tiny kicks, a beating heart, and maybe a wave from her baby girl she eagerly predicted to welcome into her life.<\/p>\n
However, what she saw amazed both her and the doctors.<\/p>\n
While displaying the ultrasound, the sonographer witnessed the monitor all puzzled, but then she smiled and said, \u201cWait a minute. Is that hair?\u201d One of the doctors approached closer and said jokingly, \u201cLooks like you\u2019ve got a little rock star in there \u2014 she might just skip the baby baldness entirely!\u201d<\/p>\n
Indeed, the ultrasound performed wispy strands swaying underwater like seaweed.<\/p>\n
Some two months later, baby Ivy was born, and her hair was as thick and as long as that of a two-year-old child. The doctors and nurses said they had never seen anything like it before.<\/p>\n
They also announced to the young mother that children being born with hair wasn\u2019t anything unusual since their hair begins growing in the womb as early as 30 weeks.<\/p>\n
What was noticeable was that Ivy\u2019s hair was clear during the scan, and that it was awesome long for a newborn baby.
\nWhen Emily\u2019s story becomes viral online, a lot of people reacted to the photos of the ultrasound showing Ivy\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n
Some parents even shared similar experiences with one person writing, \u201cMy baby was born with such long hair I had to trim it right after we got home so it wouldn\u2019t be in his eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another commented, \u201cMy baby girl was born with bangs and left the hospital already rocking bows in her hair!\u201d<\/p>\n
Every child is a little miracle in their own right. Baby Ivy\u2019s unique looks is just a reminder that nature\u2019s little wonders come in all shapes and forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
