Yesterday, I went to pick up my 4 month old (5months on Thursday) from his play mat.
At that moment hey duggee came on the TV and he arched his back so hard to try watch it I lost my grip and dropped him. He landed on the carpet and has the tiniest mark on his eyebrow. He cried for a little bit stopped when I cuddled him - think I was more distraught than him.
I rang 111 who basically told me I was a terrible parent for dropping him and I needed to get him assessed at urgent care immediately. I went, the doctor said it was a 'very minor' head injury. Checked him out said he's behaving normally, moving his arms and legs etc and looked absolutely fine. He sent us home and wasn't worried.
Now though, my anxiety is through the roof. He said he had to tell the paediatric liaison team about the injury due to his age. And now I cannot stop panicking I'm going to have social services etc turn up at my door wanting to take my little boy away for me making a mistake. I'm terrified they're going to ring tomorrow.
Little lad is fine today. Giggling away and having a good time but I am so anxious, has anyone else had an experience like this?
