  OMG! I would die! I'm glad you're ok. I've heard so many stories of babies falling off this and that....I'm the product of a fall of the couch with the addition of the corner of the coffee table and I turned out ok..... hahahaha. But seriously I'd probably call the pedi if she starts to act differently. You're the momma and know what is normal and what is not for LO at this point. GL!

  ....and yet he seems so proud of himself! Bumper and baby

  Oh my gosh, I'm sorry!  Had the same thing happen so I know just how you feel.  I bawled my eyes out uncontrollably (so did he) and was all ready to take him to the emergency room.  DH was there and called the pedi, more to make me calm down than because he thought anything was wrong.  It was after hours so we had to wait for a call back.  During that 30 minutes W stopped crying, ate for about 20 min, and fell asleep.  Pedi said not to worry, babies fall off changing tables with no problems so a short fall onto carpet was nothing to get worked up about.

  I still felt like the worst mother in the world for a few days, but he's fine and I'm extra vigilant now!  Chin up!

  Im pretty sure she's okay, my couch isn't that high so it wasn't a huge fall. She's asleep again on me, and I keep gently rocking.. I feel terrible, and never want to hear her cry like that again.

  As long as she is eating fine, I'd say she's ok.  FWIW DS1 fell off the couch and he turned out all right.  . It is heartbreaking though, hugs Momma!

  The EXACT same thing happened when I was younger and babysitting my siblings. My sister rolled right off the couch while I made her bottle. I freaked out!! I frantically told my mom the story when she got home explaining that she seemed fine and acting normal, but then my mom laughed and said, "don't worry, babies bounce!" My sister is perfectly fine, but yes, it scared the CRAP outta me!!!

  Aww you poor thingS. My C hasn't fallen off the couch yet, but the other night I was carrying him from his crib back to lay in bed with me, and I was just holding him with one arm, not supporting his head well enough. When I went to scooch back on the bed, his head wobbled and bumped my shoulder and he just.started.screaming. I felt awful. I was supposed to go in to work that morning (just a practice run, I wasn't expected there) and after that, I couldn't think of leaving him.

  DS1 recently fell off of the end of our bed and it was a first. FI and I both felt horrible after it happened. He was fine after he calmed down but us parents were still crying and upset.

  That cry is just awful though, isn't it? Q recently bumped heads with T and he started crying like that. Q felt so bad afterwards he started to tear up.

  My LO fell and ended up with a fracture and a small bleed.  Always call the pedi just in case.  We thought she was okay when she stopped crying and seemed okay.  

  I had never been so scared in my life.  It still bothers me a few weeks later.  I will never for give myself.

  This happened when LO was just over a month old....scared me to death!!!  It was middle of night and she wouldnt sleep in her pack n play so we moved to the couch. We were barely asleep for 45 min when I felt my arm roll off side of couch.  I instantly knew before my eyes opened that LO was on the floor and we have tile.  I ran to the bedroom and woke up hubby in hysterics.  Sweet baby really never gave more than a quick whimper and was ready for sleep again.  Thank God nothing was wrong with her.  I learned my lesson....or LO did, not long after that she slept soundly in her crib!  Accidents happen so don't beat yourself up too much.
