October is Pregnancy and Miscarriage Loss Awareness Month

October is Pregnancy and Miscarriage Loss Awareness Month, a time that honors pregnancies that were lost due to miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, raises awareness about miscarriage and loss and offers hope to those who have experienced it.
