We just moved to a new country and yesterday I dropped our 9 wk old baby. I tripped on my flip flop, up the stairs, and she hit the back of her head on a step. I'm in shock myself and can't remember exactly what and how it happened. But it was quite a fall onto marble floor.
She cried immediately, no vommiting, bump went down with ice at the hospital, and no loss of consciousness. Her eyes seem alert and normal when she is awake. Hospital sent is home last night as told to monitor her for 24 hours.
However, she's quite a sleepy baby anyway. I'm sat here with her dozing on me and I can't stop worrying about internal bleeding, should I go back and push for a ct scan? I know they carry their own risks but at least we'd know she's ok.
Has anyone been in a similar situation that can offer any advice or reassurance?
I feel sick in my stomach
