I'm a BAD Momma! ***warning*** Rainbow baby related

Mrs NiceMrs Nice member
in Late Term and Child Loss

So DH and I were out and had DS in his stroller. It's a travel system stroller so he just stays in his car seat. DS was getting fussy so I took him out for a bit to calm him down. I figure that he needs to be fed so we decide to head back to the truck where I can feed him in the back seat. Since I was just going to take him out again when we got to the truck I didn't strap him into his seat. On our way to the truck DS falls asleep so we then decide to go home first before feeding him. It's about a 15 min drive. So DH puts his car seat in the truck and we drive home. 

When I went to take him out I realized that he was never strapped in the whole way home! OMG!!! Huge parent FAIL!!! I can't believe I did that! I feel so guilty and can't stop thinking about what could have happened. It also has brought back all the guilt I felt when we lost Ian. I thought I had put that guilt behind me.

I have been crying and clinging to DS. I feel so horrible! :'(

    Im sorry! There was one time when DH and I buckled DD in but forgot to tighten the straps. I felt sick about it. Thankfully it was a short trip and we were all safe but I've never forgotten that. I'll bet you will always double check now!

    You are not a bad mom at all. 

    When G was 6 weeks and my aunt took me for my PP visit, she said she put the seat in the car.  Well I didn't look and when we turned a corner 15 mins later onto a main streen the carseat, baby, base and all went sliding across the backseat b/c she hadn't strapped in the base Indifferent

    I lost it, hysterical is not even the word.  I sat back there with him on the way home after the OB had given me a neeve pill...
