i havent been there but im sorry and it sounds like you feel guilty because you 'didnt know or feel' at the time. Now that you have had another baby maybe you realise what you lost. I dont know how you can move on, maybe write a letter to your lost baby and do a little private ceremony where you throw the letter into the sea or a fast flowing river from a bridge or into a bonfire so you can release your feelings IYSWIM

i've been there too. had m/c at 18 - a very long time ago. having my first two children - both boys, bothered me a bit because in some ways you only realise what you are missing when you have DC. I have been affected more than i could ever have believed by the arrival of DD, and i realised several months after she was born that it was because she is a girl, and so was the baby that i lost all those years before.
don't really know how to help, but please just keep talking

you need to acknoweledge your pain, and grieve. maybe do something to mark your baby.. plant a tree or a rosebush , something like that

it is ok to feel like this and you don;t need to try to hurry through the process
