Thank you so much for posting this. This is the first time I've read this story and this didn't just bring tears to my eyes, this story had me crying so hard I felt like I was beginning to hyperventilate. Such a sad sad tragedy. One that I hope I never have to face.

Just a little over a year ago this very same thing happened to my cousins boyfriends sister. It was horrible. The dresser was taller. It was a 6 drawer tall chest. There was something on top that her 3 year old wanted so he pulled some drawers out to climb up and get it. It tipped and wedged him between the chest that fell and the bed. He was crushed, but able to barely breathe. He had severe brain damage and was now on life support. 3 days later the Drs urged her to make a difficult decision to take her son of life support. This story you posted brought back the memories of that day just a little over a year ago.

This really makes me hate my husband. When this happened to my cousins family a year ago... I begged my husband to anchor our 6 drawer tall chest that has a flat screen on top of it without a base (have no idea how its supported as its not even leaning on the wall). Our youngest son just turned 3 in August and had been climbing since he was a baby. I found him a few weeks ago in top of his own dresser, much smaller than the one in the story, but still YOU NEVER KNOW, and I don't ever want to find out. So it pisses me off that still, to this day, my freaking husband has still not anchored the dresser to our wall. I'm making him read this story. Life is so precious.

Now that I've wiped my tears... I need to get ready for my anatomy scan today. I'm so nervous and scared. I've seen so much heartbreak over the past few weeks in the two forums I frequent most. I just pray that everything is ok... Even if she turns into a he... I just want to hear that my baby is healthy. I hardly ever feel her move and it scares me to death. My Doppler is literally the only thing keeping me sane. My appt isn't until 1pm pacific time, but I will update you all as soon as I can.

Congrats on your scan hotdogz... I hope I get some great results today too!!!

On a side note: Ignorant people piss me off. I've lost 3 babies all 10 weeks and earlier and I have 3 children. Someone had the nerve to say to me that I've now "finally" held more pregnancies than I've lost. Ugh, I felt like slapping her. I was speechless and didn't say anything which makes me more mad at myself.

Wishing you all a happy and safe New Year!!! Xoxo

Hi everyone . I wish you all a happy and healthy new year I'm definitely ready to say good-bye to 2012!

We have our 20 week anatomy scan in a couple of hours. I'm just hoping everything is ok. My doctor mentioned the possibility of placenta accreta since I have an anterior placenta and have had c-sections. We will know today if the placenta position is a problem or not.

That is a very sad story that mrshoney just posted. Unfortunately, it's a story I heard often when I used to work at a children's rehabilitation hospital . We had babies, toddlers and children with every imaginable sad story. It often makes me overly cautious with my own children and I feel like sometimes I have to dial it down. Although I will have all boys- there is no way in hell any of them will play football. That is one thing I will not compromise on. However, as much as we try to protect our children from harm- there are always freak accidents. You just have to love them up while you have them - and cross every body part that they will always be safe and healthy. Thankfully, I no longer work there (since I had DS1)- although I do miss it. I would never be able to work there while having children of my own.....

Anyway- I will update later about my scan. Please keep your fingers crossed that everything looks perfect!

Thanks for taking the time to read it, ladies. Hopefully it can save a child's life if it keeps getting passed around! That's so scary Brandles... I probably never would have thought of it, but my kids' previous pediatrician told me a similar story so we anchored it right away.
Oh my gosh, you should totally go back and slap her!! That's completely insensitive of her to say!
Good luck with your scans today!!

Happy New Year lovely ladies.

I haven't dared read the story as I know I will be floods, but I had such a near miss with a chest of drawers falling on my then 2yr old ds1 when ds2 was just a few months old. He had gone into his bedroom and used the drawers as steps to get something from the top, I was in the room next door changing ds2s nappy when I heard a crash. My heart honestly stopped and I ran through to see the dress had fallen forwards onto the floor and no sign of ds1. I don't know where the strength came from but I managed to lift the whole thing back up while shouting ds1s name. I couldn't see him underneath it and then a little voice came from under his duvet on his bed. By some miracle he had managed to jump from the drawer he was on onto his bed as the drawers tumbled down. He'd been so scared he just hid under his duvet cover. I have never hugged him so much in all my life and thanked God for saving him. As soon as dh got back from work he fastened the drawers to the wall and did the same with any others we had in the house.

So frightening how quickly something can happen that could have such devastating consequences.

I hope your scans go well Jark & Brandles. xxx
