Has anyone's doctor been able to feel their baby's hair (specifically, the texture [i.e. curly]) at a cervical check through the amniotic sac? I'm asking because yesterday at my appt (I'm 1 cm, 80% effaced, 37 weeks) the physician assistant said that she could feel his curly hair. Is it possible to feel this through the amniotic sac? I'm asking because I thought last week I might have had a leak in my sac, and now this is just confusing me. Any ideas?
Re: Question about Amniotic Sac
OP no I'd be worried if my doc said that
That was weird AF, but she didn't mention hair... I wonder if it's legit?
Eta, also the mom were a lot more dilated then 1 cm. If my memory is right, over 5cm. Maybe?
So for the doctor to be able to feel curly hair through the sac seems crazy to me and I'd look at my doctor like she'd gone mad if she said that to me. I didn't mean to say you should be worried about your baby, I'm so sorry if you thought that's what I meant. However, I'm not a doctor and if @BecauseBabyIamAPug says it, I believe it! .
edit spelling
I am not sure how they felt 'curly' hair at only 1cm and only 80%.
My patients were in full blown labor.
No sometimes, I would feel the head. The scalp would be all squished up and that felt 'weird' and different.
But then again, I was the queen of accidently breaking water during cervical checks.
