what a stressful day, hayley.
babies are bouncy creatures - mine had a tumble or two, as do most of them, I think.
hope you all get a good nights' sleep.

I'm quite impressed you made it to 8 months without your lo falling off furniture. That seemed to be a rite of passage around 4 months for each of ours.

poor dd and poor you! Like others have said EVERY baby falls off something at some point. Hope ecg gives you some answers wrt the epilepsy.

Haley we have all been there honestly. They are surprisingly robust little creatures. When dd was 6 months old I tripped carrying her down the stairs, dropped her and she bounced (head first) of the radiator. I was in pieces she screamed blue murder rushed to nearest doctors surgery but she was fine. I went prematurely grey, vomitted and was a wreck for days. (To make matters worse it was the first day back at work after maternity leave and I had to take the next couple of days off to keep an eye on her, and it happened at MIL's house!)

Another one here! DD fell off a table I was changing her on when she was 8 months (managed to catch her) and ended up in A&E at 12 months after two separate incidents over one weekend (HUGE bump on head and sprained leg).

Please don't worry or feel bad, hayley - these things happen. Hope DD's scan goes ok.

thank god i aint only one what a relief lol, thanks all about her ecg she has had one before which shown she has west syndrome, but with her not having ft so long and she taking the medication which has so much side affects thet are going to see if maybe she s betterfrom it, as the one dd has can be groen out,
