Slipped on the stairs

Don’t judge me because I already feel horrendous but I slipped on the stairs whilst carrying my 13 week old, I have no idea how. I was only down one step but we both landed on our backs on the carpeted step. She sobbed for a minute like she did when she had her jabs done (which made me cry my eyes out) and then she has been fine since, there is no marks or lumps/bumps on her anywhere. I have abit of carpet burn on my elbow which I think cushioned the fall for her but other than that it was a really tiny slip. I feel so guilty but she seems completely fine, she’s had a feed and has been smiling as normal. Should I still take her to a&e to be checked over or do I just keep an eye on her? Like I said she seems completely herself… I feel like the world worst mum

Don't feel bad, it's easily done. I'm sure she'll be fine but you could always call 111 if you're concerned. X

So I had similar on Thursday! Tripped up and we both knocked in to a wall, clumsy tired kicking in. I called 111 and we were advised to go to A&E to be on the safe side. She got checked out and we were sent home. I also massively beat myself up over it and made myself feel terrible x

I was clipping a musical bird onto my little girls play mat. Didn't clip properly and fell on her head...felt horrific. She cried a tiny bit. No marks...and picked her up and she was fine. Literally I felt awful...but these things happen and you can't help it sometimes it's life. They will get bumps and knocks but doesn't make how we feel any better

Don’t feel bad I’ve done the same, except I fell forwards. Luckily my instinct was to keep hold of my daughter and I broke our fall with my head against the wall. It’s so easily done x
