No need to now: Since she is acting fine and eating/sleeping normally, i highly doubt that she sustained significant injury. Many homes in america are carpeted and so this serves as a modest cushion against injury from fall. Keep a close eye on her and be careful. Use bedrails. She will be more active/mobile with time. Congrats on the baby--a miracle of life. Good luck.
