Your cervix also effaces (thins). So, she may be able to feel your baby's head through your cervix, as it has effaced enough but has not yet started to dilate (open).

I've also been told by my Dr. that the head can sometimes be felt on either side of the cervix along the upper vaginal wall. I know I can feel my little mans head and my dr. could too and I am not effaced or dilated at all!
