Babies scary accidents

Has your baby had an accident that has freaked you out?
Babies are unpredictable wee things and once you think you have them figured out they go and give you a shock. I had the biggest shock of my life the other day.
Samantha was a bit cranky so I thought, usually she is a good girl so she must have sore gums or something I will let her lie on my bed while I get dressed. I knew she could roll I knew she could squirm around on her elbows but I thought she would be ok because I was there watching her. Unfortunately, she was quicker than lightening. She had launched herself off the bed and onto the floor before I could reach out and grab her.
She was crying and so was I. I never felt so bad in my life.
I called the doctor and took her in because you never know if there has been any head injury. By the time I got to the doctor, she was all smiles and babbles again. The doctor was more concerned about how shaky I was, she said, “It’s ok all parents have had things like that happen to them and those that say they do not are liars”.
Even the receptionist said “Don’t worry my son rolled off the couch when six people were suposededly watching him”.
Tell you what I am so paranoid now, that I have to be careful not to wrap her in cotton wool!
Although my sister in law said, "Ahh you will be a lot more chilled about this stuff as time goes on".
