DD (9 months) managed to toss herself off the end of my bed this morning whilst I quickly ran into the bathroom to get my make up bag to get ready for work back in my bedroom. I thought she'd be okay as she was up by the pillows sitting in a V shaped one, and her cot is right next to the bed on the side she was sitting, but she managed to wiggle down to the bottom (in her sleeping bag!) and fall off the side of the bed at the bottom of her cot in the time it took me to go and get the bag.
Cue huge, instant purple bruise, us both screaming, me wanting to vomit, and a trip to A&E. She was fine of course (first proper accident), but they mentioned that anybody under the age of 1 automatically gets a referral to the HV, who will come out and give the parent(s) a talk about 'safety in the home'
Is that all they will do? Will she run around inspecting that me and my home is good enough for DD? As if I don't feel fecking awful enough already, without having to take time off work to sit at home and be lectured.
I'm sure it's all normal and I can see why it's necessary, but in my delicate state I can't help but feel a bit put out by this.
Anyone had one of these visits? Will she slap my wrists?
