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.
