The video, taken on a doorbell camera on October 2, shows the mother closing the door as she goes to run errands.

Her shoes get tangled, causing her to drop to her knees and land face first on the porch as she is unable to free her hands.

Due to the impact of the fall, her son begins to cry, and the mother says: ‘Tell me about it buddy.’ 

The woman, wearing a black checked shirt, moans in pain but sits her son’s car seat up before checking her face for any injuries.

She said: ‘I was leaving to run some errands and my son Declan was already not happy as it was nap time. 

As I shut the door one of the hooks on my boots got attached to the laces on my other shoe causing my feet to not be able to move. 

‘I couldn’t take a step so I fell on my knees and was not about to let go of the car seat in one hand and then my other hand got stuck with the diaper bag so I then chin planted into the ground.’ 

The mother explains how she had to seem unbothered by the fall so she didn’t upset her baby further.

She added: ‘It hurt so bad but then Declan started crying so I had to play it off. 

‘He is completely fine it just scared him. I just ended up with bruised knees and a sore chin. 

‘I just laid there for a minute and after the video stopped Declan actually looked at me and smiled and we laughed it off.’
