Have you ever accidentally dropped your baby?

Question

Have you ever accidentally dropped your baby? Mother's aren't perfect and I've heard stories about parents dropping their baby on accident while the parent is sleeping. I'm having my baby soon and I keep having nightmares about this.

Answer

As bad as it sounds, my son has rolled out of my bed once and then one time my fiancé and I were playing video games and my son crawled over my leg and as I went to grab him he lunged forward and off the bed he went. Baby's are strong little humans.

I'm having twins and every time I think about bringing them to work to show them off a thought pops into my head what if I drop one? Honestly I'll probably have them in the stroller but still a fear of mine 😱

Answer

My sister inlaw is a labor and delivery nurse. One of the first hospitals she worked at they had a rule that they weren't allowed to take baby back to nursery or put them down. The mom was forced to hold the baby for a few hours right after child birth (no matter how exhausted they were). She said new moms would drop the baby out of their arms while they were sleeping all the time, some actually died from hitting the floor. That's the reason she left that hospital.
