pregnancy???

one of my freinds told me that her sister had a baby and she had to get the baby examined and the doctor had to stick his arm all the way to his elbow to see where the head is...has this ever happened to you moms? shes 6'3"...but do they really stick up their whole hand to feel where the baby is? why cant they do an ultrasound?

1. OMG, no!!
2. Is your friends sister a cow? No way up to the elbow.
3. What does this question have to do with Cooking & Recipes??
4. No, they usually just push on your belly to make sure the baby isn't breeched. If she was very far along, he or she may have been stripping her membranes though
5. I agree with margarita ... this ain't a food question.
6. I had nothing to do with it, I was cooking at the time,Honest
