I had a miscarrage 5years ago on the 21st oct. I feel so guilty because, with now having a 10week old i completly forgot. I usually take tym out in the night to talk to a star. I pick out the brightest 1 and believe thats my angel. Gawd i feel really really bad. Nt looking for advice as such. Im just....oh i dnt even know what im looking for

You forgot because you are so busy looking after your 10 week old.
Give yourself a break ,you truly have nothing to feel guilty for.
Take time out tonight to remember your little angel.

Please try not to feel so guilty
I bet you think about your little one more often than one day a year don't you? As time passes, anniversaries tend to mean less I think. You have a beautiful 10 week old to care for and as every new mum knows they can hardly remember to put their clothes on never mind anything else!!!!
Please, please try not to feel so bad
Love to you - and congrats for your 10 week old by the way

DD don't feel bad,you have a 10week old baby and that keeps everyone constantly oocupied and tired. It dosen't mean you have forgotton or care any less about your other baby,it just means that you have been dealing with the normal pressures of life.

life moves on. You won't forget - but it will not be at the forefront of your life and that is ok.

Your current baby is more important than the one you lost.

When my DS was 10 weeks I don't think I knew what day it was let alone the date so don't feel bad about forgetting. Although it is a significant day, it is only a 'date'; you have remembered now and I bet that it isn't the only time you think about your lo.

You don't believe it when it happens, but it shows that it does get easier with time doesn't it? And it's probably been easier this year without the buildup to the date that I know I have done in the past.

Remember, it doesn't make your miscarried one any less significant - he / she is still a part of your lives and always will be.
