I use my thumbnail across the split to add pressure.I dont use the fingernail to pry.Just to add pressure directly across the split.
I think you used your nail in the same direction as the seed splits.You want to apply pressure across this and it will make the split open up and you can see the baby without ever touching the embryo inside.
