Maternity notes jargon help?

This is from my Vaginal examination I just had where she gave me a sweep. I understand that I'm 2cm dilated soft at the front, still a bit long but what does the last bit mean/say??
Ceph intact _? I think it means she felt the head through the sack and my waters were intact? She did say head was quite low.

(Side note had tonnes of Braxton Hicks since sweep!)

Ceph means cephalic - the baby is head down

I think the next bit says "intact forew(aters)" - so yes, intact membranes.
