I am now facing the question of counseling.  Do you think that I should talk to a professional before I have the procedure done?  I am just scared that I won't be strong enough to get through this or my marriage will suffer because I will be so depressed.

How did you cope with going from having a belly and telling the world about your pregnancy to losing it? 
Thanks for everything.  Believe it or not, with these emails I feel better.

We went to a genetic counselor (who basically told us we were not carriers).  I did go for a few grief counseling sessions to help me deal with everthing.
As far as telling people I tried to have people spread the word so I wouln't have to deal with it or just said we lost the baby if I didn't want to get into it.
