Baby Ivy’s Ultrasound Surprise: A Full Head of Hair at Just 20 Weeks!
When Emily Foster from Kent, England, went in for her routine 20-week pregnancy scan, she was hoping to catch a glimpse of her baby girl’s tiny kicks, a strong heartbeat, and maybe even a little wave. What she didn’t expect was to witness something that would leave both her and the medical team completely speechless.
As the sonographer scanned the monitor, she suddenly paused and leaned in. Then came the smile.
“Wait a second… is that hair?” she asked, eyes wide with surprise.
A nearby doctor chuckled and added, “Looks like you’ve got a rock star on the way—might not need those baby hats after all!”
On screen, delicate strands of hair could be seen floating gracefully in the amniotic fluid, resembling soft seaweed drifting underwater.
An Early Hair-Raising Reveal
Two months later, baby Ivy made her grand entrance—and sure enough, she arrived with a full, thick head of hair that would rival many toddlers’. Nurses and doctors were stunned. “We’ve seen newborns with hair,” one nurse said, “but nothing like this.”
While it's normal for babies to grow hair in the womb—hair follicles start developing around 30 weeks—it’s rare for it to be long enough to be clearly visible in an ultrasound image. Ivy was clearly ahead of the curve.
The Internet Can’t Get Enough
Once Emily shared Ivy’s unique ultrasound and birth photos online, the story quickly spread. Parents around the world chimed in with their own stories of “hairy babies,” delighted by the unexpected detail.
“My son had so much hair it covered his ears!” one mom shared. Another joked, “My daughter came out ready for her first salon appointment—bangs and all!”
A Little Miracle with a Lot of Hair
Baby Ivy’s early debut as a mini hair icon is a heartwarming reminder of how delightfully unpredictable life can be. Every baby is unique, and sometimes, they bring a little extra magic—even before they’re born.
As for Emily? She’s just excited to watch Ivy grow—and to see if those luscious locks stay one step ahead.
