Jasmine Roth’s Toddler Receives Seven Stitches After Home Head Injury

Roth sought immediate obstetric care after the scare and clinicians confirmed a fetal heartbeat on a quick ultrasound.

Overview

  • Roth says the accident happened while she was home alone with her two daughters on Sunday, May 31, when toddler Darla fell from a couch and hit a coffee table.
  • Emergency clinicians treated Darla’s wound with seven stitches and released her home to recover the same day.
  • After the ER visit doctors could not locate a fetal heartbeat there, so Roth later went to an OB emergency clinic in Salt Lake where staff immediately found a heartbeat and performed a brief ultrasound.
  • Roth has described the day as traumatic, credited hospital staff and family for support, and said the incident has prompted practical safety changes at home.
  • She shared graphic photos and a public account on Instagram to reassure other parents, and the episode resonated with her prior family medical history including a previous preterm birth and NICU stay for Darla.
