I tipped the pram with my 4 week old baby in it over on its side a couple of hours ago. It didn't go over with a crash, but quite slowly because I was holding it at the time but the front wheel caught on a step and I wasn't strong enough to keep it upright.
He didn't fall out and was in the padded carry cot in his pram suit, tucked in tightly. He was awake but didn't cry at all, and has been fine since - alert, playing in his baby gym, feeding, wetting nappies, and now snoring in his Moses basket.
I phoned NHS Direct and they said it was best to take him in to my GP straight away, or if not then the paediatric A&E. I phoned GP surgery but they couldn't see me, however they thought the baby would be 'absolutely fine'. Now I'm not sure what to do. The A&E dept at my local hospital is always a complete nightmare and last time I was there it took 6 hours to be seen.
