Don't beat yourself up, it was an accident. You're a good mom! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137468 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 01:33:19 +0000 BeachMama 1137468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That must've been so scary. I let my daughter roll right off the changing table one time. I felt like the worst mom every and the moment kept replaying itself over and over. We all make mistakes though, and you're a great mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137453 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 00:28:07 +0000 shellio 1137453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww that is hard to get over but just know that she is already over it. I fell down the stairs carrying my DS when he was about 8 mos old, it was so scary and traumatic. And then once my mom put him in his clip-on high chair and he wasn't properly secured, also around 8 mos, and he slid right out and hit the hardwood floors :( This stuff is hard to get past but they forget right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137384 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 22:13:51 +0000 skibobrown 1137384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that's so scary! Good thing you grabbed her quickly. I think probably most kids who grew up with staircases in their houses have had some kinds of mishaps involving stairs though, so don't beat yourself up. Sounds like your daughter will be fine, and that bump will go down in a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137355 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 21:49:46 +0000 bunnylove08 1137355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happens to the best of us :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137346 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 21:42:09 +0000 wheres_c 1137346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry! My LO fell down the stairs too before we bought a gate. Accidents happen! Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137026 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:53:24 +0000 hilsy85 1137026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: so scary! My Lo also fell today and got a goose egg :( don't beat yourself up, it happens to us all!</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: omg yes, it's like they look for the most obscure ways to hurt themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1137008 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:45:12 +0000 PrincessBaby 1137008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad yourLO is okay, but dont beat yourself up too hard! We all have things like that happen...It's basically impossible for accidents to NEVER happen, they're just into too much stuff to have every little thing perfect all the time! I try really hard but every once in a while she gets to something I hadnt thought of (the bottom drawer to our dresser was open a little and she pulled up on it, and fell, immediately hitting the under/soft part of her chin on the CORNER of the drawer! Left a litte stab mark/bruise &amp; broke my heart!)....And there are so many near-disasters that I Super Mom Save at the last second, that happen every day, it's almost baffling that we haven't had worse, so I try to just take a deep breath and be grateful for being blessed with as little catastrophe as possible...Hugs, mama:). Dont be so hard on yourself:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1136973 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:25:28 +0000 Adira 1136973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I'm so so sorry!! That's so scary!! Please don't feel bad! Accidents happen! I fell down a flight of stairs when I was little too and I was fine! And when Xander was a newborn, I dropped him because a spider crawled on me! So at least you didn't do that! :) The good thing about children is that they tend to be a lot more flexible - they don't always tense up when falling, so they tend not to get hurt as easily! So glad she's okay! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1136963 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:20:06 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1136963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, how scary for you! Feeling like you could have let your baby get seriously hurt is the worst feeling in the world. But you're not a shit mom! You're great and she will be fine and you'll be fine, too. Try not to dwell on the "what if...", but the "thank goodness I caught her". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1136941 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:05:04 +0000 runsyellowlites 1136941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: Oh no! That is scary! Don't beat yourself up though, she's safe &amp; there's nothing you can do to change what happened. You're a good momma! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1136940 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:03:51 +0000 shinymama 1136940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. It's the worst feeling, but try not to beat yourself up about it. They're called accidents for a reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-like-a-total-sh-mom#post-1136935 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:00:03 +0000 autumn865 1136935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today was one of those days where you feel like you're doing a million things at once. my LO and I came upstairs but in my rush I must not have clicked the stairs gate properly closed. I was trying to fold laundry while she was toddling around when the next thing I knew she had pushed the gate opened and started tumbling down the stairs. The stairs curve as they go down and after about three steps her body paused for a millisecond from falling more and I scooped her up, thank God. But she has a bump the size of a golf ball :( The moment keeps playing and replaying in my mind and I feel like a total sh#% for being careless with the gate and being distracted. My poor baby :*( I never would forgive myself if something ever happened to her. :*( </p>
