was i being ott
in Baby
This morning i put pippa to bed for a nap and went downstairs, and made dh come down as he'd been putting a blind up in the nursery. About an hour later i could hear her stiring (on the monitor) so go up to go get her and couldn't open the living room door. I told dh and he said don't be daft, and came to look and it wouldn't open, he went to get a screwdriver out of the kitchen and realised they were all upstairs, frantic couple of minutes and we found one in the kitchen, he took the door handle off and still couldn't open the door, and i could hear pippa starting to get upset. i told him to kick the door but then realised that wouldn't work as you pull the door to open, and couldn't go through the front door as there's a dead bolt on the back of it as we don't use it. I said i'm going to phone the fire brigade or police and he told me i couldn't as it's not an emergency and that's ott. I told hime he had five mins or i was phoning (taking into account she's only 21 weeks and was crying for a feed) he tried everrything and eventually he got the door open and i ran upstairs and she was sobbing. If he hadn't been there i really think i would have had to phone the police/fire brigade, but do you tat would have been ott, it was only 15 mins start to finish but i could just hear her getting more upset over the monitor

Why did your door get stuck?!
Glad you're all OK now. xxx
If this has happened and you were on your own, it seems that you would have had no other option but to do this. So what that you were locked inside rather than outside! Your lo was in another room and you couldn't get to her.
I think it would have merited calling the emergency services. So it wasn't a life threatening situation but it was still an emergency situation
