Baby N had a great fall....

I had put Baby N to sleep and sat down to have breakfast yday abt 10.00 in the morning..Baby N usually takes only 30 min powernaps during the day (3 times at the max). I finished rasam rice and was abt start curd rice when I heard a loud wail from Baby N. She usually cries when she wakes up but this time it was real bad. I rushed to bedroom. By the then our maid had picked up the baby. Baby N had jumped off the bed - my little superwoman. I started shaking from head to toe. It took 20 mins to calm down the baby. I immediately called our paed and he said everything should be ok. Our maid then thoroughly checked if the baby is ok by gently touching from head to toe. I just couldnt believe that she fell down. I had 3 pillows arranged by her side but nothing helped. I am really scared if anything would to her because of this in the future. Many assured me that children under 2 dont her hurt that soon but still I am a little scared. We have an appointment today with the paed.Let us see what he has to say. Baby N was back to normal immediately after the incident and I was the one who could not sleep the whole night and ended up having such a bad headache. I still havent come out of shock. Hope this does not affect her in any way. I do understand that this is all part of the growing up process but I could have definitely been more careful. My father already says I dont take proper care of the baby making me all the more guilty. Hope this does not happen again. How to teach my kid that it is dangerous to jump out of the bed and she is not old enough to do such a thing????
