Took my 16 month old DS to the doctors as he’s been suffering with cold symptoms. Whilst I was stripping him down to his vest for the doctor to examine him, I turned my back for 10 seconds to grab his dummy and he rolled off the bed onto the floor and started screaming. He developed a golfball sized lump to his head and a small cut and bruise to his left eye 😭 I couldn’t stop crying and feeling like such a terrible mother after it happened and every time I think back to that moment, I get upset.
The doctor reassured me that he didn’t think it was anything to be concerned about and provided me with a leaflet on symptoms to look out for but I’m such an over-thinker anyway and can’t stop worrying that something really bad is going to be happen. Has anyone got any similar stories of this happened to their child? I just can’t stop panicking that it’s going to develop into something worse 😭
