Miscarriage is very common and it’s a topic. It is estimated that 1:6 of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Despite being common, this does not take away the heartbreak that suffering from a miscarriage causes. Each individual acts differently to a pregnancy loss. Emotions that women and couples feel range from anger, grief, disappointment, and guilt, to fear of it happening again and sadness or depression.

What is an HSA or FSA?
A health savings account (HSA) and a flexible spending account (FSA) are both tax-advantaged accounts that allow you to save specifically for certain medical or wellness expenses. HSAs are usually only available to people who have a high-deductible health plan, and are tax-exempt, meaning money goes in tax-free, comes out tax-free, and can earn interest tax-free.
While FSAs also have tax benefits, they are only available as part of a benefits package from an employer, but the medical expenses you can use it on are very similar to an HSA. Typically, FSA funds are “use or lose” each year, while unused balances in HSA accounts roll over into the next year.
