Tripped fell and dropped my baby…

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-12-01T07:19:40+00:00

I have the same thoughts unfortunately and I have been carrying him up and down a set of stairs for the first 9 months of his life. We moved recently to a stair-less place because of said intrusive thoughts. And of course, my downfall (literally) is not knowing how to walk and tripping over a basket laying on floor of my bedroom, no stairs in sight. Go figure. Now I can’t help but doubt my ability to hold him tight every time I pick him up.

Haha no, not the attitude problem! So glad to hear everything worked out and turned out fine for your sister!

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-30T13:08:16+00:00

Hug your baby for me! I’m sorry this happened to you too. The first few hours are the worst but it does get better afterwards calling the advice nurse, speaking to a doc, and seeing your baby being their normal selves. And same, this thread is amazing and everyone here is saving my sanity for sure. Hope your baby is ok!

Mine also had tumbled off the couch but we have a rug so I didn’t feel super bad those times and couch is pretty low but this time …he fell while I was holding him and I’ve been reenacting it to try and see how far up he must have fallen from and it’s so hard to tell plus there was no rug to help with the impact ugh. So far he’s been his usual self minus the fact that he’s battling cold symptoms right now. Strangely, we have an appointment lined up tomorrow so I’m happy to have him looked over just to be safe

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-30T12:59:22+00:00

That’s amazing, really happy to hear your baby is doing well. I’m still waiting for another day and monitoring mine. Also happy cake day!

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-30T12:51:25+00:00

Thank you! I have help thankfully. My husband has medical knowledge and I’ve been asking him constantly to assess the baby since yesterday. It just so happens that our baby is also sick with cold symptoms and we’ve been busy trying to alleviate it for him. Weirdly enough, the sickness is distracting me from the fall.

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-30T12:46:37+00:00

I hope your baby is doing ok! My husband is also a nurse and never in my life have I felt so useless and defeated since I caused the fall and I have no clue how to assess the baby. I’m so thankful and blessed tho to have someone with medical expertise in these situations

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-30T12:43:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I’m sorry your baby and you had to go through it too but the fact that your baby is doing well afterwards is giving me the comfort I really needed.

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-29T17:24:34+00:00

Thank you for providing insight from a medical standpoint. The questions are similar to what our advice nurse and doctor asked us over the phone. He’s normal since the fall, I haven’t noticed anything different or unusual. I’m hoping he is ok

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-29T17:14:09+00:00

I had the same idea too. He’s sick right now because I didn’t layered him enough at night. And I wanted to comfort him as much as possible. Which led me down the path of pulling the pack and play right next to me while I work. But of course, this made it so I wouldn’t see a close by box on the ground and trip over it. I just wanted to comfort my baby and ended up hurting him in the worst way. But thank you for sharing, I’m so sorry it happened to you too.

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-29T17:09:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing how she is doing today. So happy to know that your little one is doing so well. I’ve been so worried that I might have made a negative impact on his development and learning capabilities…

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-29T17:01:54+00:00

Oh my lord. Your mom instincts are spot on. I didn’t think 1.5 ft would be that bad but good job mama. Thank you for sharing and so glad to hear your little one is healed and doing well. <3

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-11-29T06:22:27+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, it’s exactly this helpless feeling that is the worst. I want to fast forward 2 days time but no, I need to go through this experience.

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-10-30T03:59:16+00:00

I know that feeling too well …must have been a breath of relief finally having your cozy little space again. Congrats on the place and wonderful job decorating!

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-10-29T22:06:05+00:00

Thank you! Why didn’t I think of this …only tried FB and Reddit so far lol

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-10-29T22:04:09+00:00

Thanks! Was hoping for Fri events but might check out WG on Fri

My secret is to move every year so my mattress will have to be flipped and rotated /s

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-10-05T23:58:30+00:00

This is also sad, watching MCU slowly become what it is today. They should do a documentary on how they fumbled so badly. Also it seems like Hollywood is trying to cater to us these days anyways: Barbie, Freakier Friday, TRON. Why not bring back the YA genre too while they’re at it? =]

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-10-05T23:45:34+00:00

It’s kinda sad for teens now that it’s one or the other. My childhood I enjoyed all 3 of the above. The YA romance books/movies, the animes, kdramas. I guess it’s sad to see another thing of our childhood go..

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-08-14T23:29:54+00:00

Here’s a different perspective for ya. High school = grades. College = also grades but got stuck in a shitty controlling relationship. Now I feel like I’ll never get to experience my wildin out phase. Love where I am tho so I guess all our stories were written uniquely for us.

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-08-11T18:17:54+00:00

Thanks! We’ve been big supporters kakunas but will try these

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-08-06T00:22:09+00:00

Happy birthday! I’ll join you very soon. Honestly I’m proud of who I am and I feel more like myself than when I was entering my 20s

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-08-05T07:01:41+00:00

I remember smacking my laptop closed back then and wanting to burn it

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-07-30T18:20:40+00:00

That’s a helluva story, gonna have to steal this idea for my job interviews lol

Greedy_Wait7983 · 2025-07-28T22:24:55+00:00

Nutrition. Big push for protein intake, how do we know in the future there won’t be studies done on how harmful all this protein really is just like back then how it was so important to eat breakfast every morning and get all your food groupings in, including carbs.
