I feel like such a bad mum [sad]

DD is nearly 5 MO and has decided that today was the day that she would fully roll over.

She was on her play gym which I put on our coffee table and she rolled off. I was sat with her playing, but she was so quick. It was like slow motion. I couldn't seem to move my arms to grab her.

She fell on to her side in between the coffee table and the sofa. I picked her up straight away and she cried but only for a few seconds.

I didn't see her hit her head, but logically thinking she must have done. I checked her all over and I cant see any bumps or anything.
I had a GP's appointment this afternoon for me and I took DD and asked him to check her over, he said she seems ok and she was laughing and smiling at him. He did say that if I had any concerns to call the surgery for advice.

She is now sleeping, and I've just been sta here in tears. I feel like such a bad mum

I have a scar on my nose where I was (apparently) thrown onto a radiator by my grandmother as a newborn.

Sometimes the only think that would stop DS crying was being on my shoulders - then I walked into a door frame. I think this was two days after I dropped a can of drink on his head when he was in the pushchair.

All before 6 months - if you look at him now (19mo) you'd think he's done 5 rounds with Mike Tyson!!

You're not a bad mum...you're a human mum!!

When DD was about 8 months old she fell off a changing table at the swimming pool onto a tiled floor. She had a big bruise on her head but otherwise fine.

I think I cried more than she did!
