11 weeks pregnant, anxiety, need support

First, welcome to Healingwell, where you will find a lot of support and friendship, as many of us have.

Second, congratulations on your pregnancy. That is very exciting. You should rejoice.

Third, do you trust your partner/best friend, or not? If you trust him, then the fact that he was talking with another woman should not bother you. I am a guy. I go out to dinner with women, have women friends, travel on business with women, etc. My wife trusts me. I have never broken, and would never break, my commitment to be faithful to my wife. So the fact that a guy spends some time with women does not mean he is unfaithful or even thinks about being unfaithful. If you do not trust your partner/best friend, then you should think about why that is and maybe have a candid conversation with him. Or even couples counselling, if you are at that point.

Fourth, sure pregancy can cause some emotional moments. So don't blame yourself for having such moments. Of course, if you can help it you don't want to be suffering from extreme anxiety during your pregnancy.  If it is at that level, maybe you could talk with a counselor, or your Ob/Gyn, about ways to deal with the anxiety. 

Best wishes, Medved

Hi Christa, welcome and congratulations.

You have receive some good input already...I just wanted to welcome you here and encourage you to keep posting.

Pregnancy is a time of fluxuating hormones and emotions. Anxiety can factor in as well unfortunately. What should be the most exciting time in your life, can become a period of doubt and worry.

However, thee are ways to manage those anxious feelings, and one of them it to talk with others who understand your feelings...so stick with us, and we will support you anytime you need encouragement.:)

Take care and post anytime!

S.C.

p.s. it sounds like somebody who has too much time on their hands was reporting back on your partner's actions...in the future, I would shut down such gossip with a simple "I trust him, so there is nothing to talk about." reply...try not to let this kind of second hand story bother you.
