When Emily Foster from Kent, England, went in for a routine ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant, she expected to see the usual\u2014tiny kicks, a beating heart, and maybe a wave from her baby girl she eagerly expected to welcome into her life.<\/p>\n

However, what she saw stunned both her and the doctors.<\/p>\n

While performing the ultrasound, the sonographer looked at 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 showed wispy strands swaying underwater like seaweed.<\/p>\n

<\/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. They also explained to the young mother that children being born with hair wasn\u2019t anything unusual since their hair starts growing in the womb as early as 30 weeks. What was remarkable was that Ivy\u2019s hair was visible during the scan, and that it was unusually long for a newborn baby.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Emily\u2019s story spread online, a lot of people reacted to the photos of the ultrasound showing Ivy\u2019s hair. 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 Another shared, \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
