Brand new 'big girl' bed today, mid sleeper with a den underneath. Twice today she's hit her head standing up under it. The second time we weren't in the room to see it but about 15 minutes later she got a brief nosebleed and then produced an enormous blood clot out of her mouth.

We rang 111 who weren't concerned but said they'd have someone call back for 'home management' advice. We kept her up for two hours but no one had rung so I let her go to bed. 20 minutes later they call and ask me to wake her.

I've never seen her asleep like that - we had to turn on the lights, pull off the covers, shake her and basically shout her name to wake her up. She's now gone to A&E with DH and I'm sitting here like a lemon watching my son's baby monitor with nothing to distract me from the panic.

Fuck that fucking bed. It took me a day to put together and I fucking hate it now. Jesus Christ I was terrified when we couldn't wake her, I think my heart stopped.

Distract me? Reassure me? I feel completely powerless and out of the loop.

I never heard of a poo check. It took me a micro second to work it out. What's wrong with some people?

Glad she’s ok!
My DSD7 injured herself this week around 8:30 in the morning. While minor it was very painful for a while and she worked herself up into a bit of a state. At 10ish she took herself to bed and slept profoundly for nearly three hours. I think the crash after a shock to the system plus the tears afterwards can be quite exhausting for little ones.

Oh I knew what the op meant, I just didn't know it was a thing to do. Mine never poo'd in sleep. I imagined a child would wake up if wanting to do so and go to the loo (unless they were a baby or had a digestive upset).

I’m surprised 111 weren’t more concerned tbh

Yes, very unusual.
