Help

Hi all, my 20wk old has just fallen off the bed while I was trying to go to the toilet I have called 13health and spoken to a nurse and am taking him to see our gp today. He seems fine but I can’t shake the feeling of how bad I feel I can’t stop crying.. I feel like I should have known better and I’m not sure how to deal with my emotions on this. Anyone that has been through this as I am aware it is common thing that happens, how did you forgive yourself? 😭😭😭

My son rolled off the bed twice. You feel like crap and guilty, but 9 times out of 10 they are fine. I'm so use to him falling on his own accord now that I don't even move 🤣 its like watching a t Rex wondering if they saw you look as a toddler

It happens, don’t be too hard on yourself. My baby has fallen off the bed and the couch a few times now and as much as it’s not okay for babies to fall too many times, accidents happen and sometimes you’ll hate yourself but go easy on yourself, but also make sure it doesn’t happen too often. Remember you’re only human and you’re doing the best you can. You’ve got this 💪🏽

When my daughter was 3 months old I was so tired I fell asleep with her on the sofa and she fell off on to the floor and I was so sleep deprived when my daughter was 4 months old I had her in her car seat walking to my front door to give her to her dad.. to open the door I put the car seat on top of the back of the sofa not thinking and she of course roly-polyed of the sofa in the car seat.. she cried for a second and was absolutely fine. I’ve refused to handle car seats or fall asleep with her since. She’s two next month and I still feel guilty everyday but now she throws herself off of anything she can…
