Do you have kids?

Ladies: When you first got pregnant/had a baby, did your social anxiety get worse or better?

when i had my first child, having her was the cause of my problems i got post natel depression and it just got worse and worse, luckily having my second daughter sort of brought me out of the depression but didnt get rid of the SA

Nope no kids and unlikey to have kids I think.

My guess if it improved anyone's SA they are probably not still too active on the site, any answers you will get are probably going to be negative, I would bet if I were a betting man.

No kids, ever. Not in the right mental state for it nor I have the desire to have them.

I have heard of children changing social anxiety for some women. The need or desire to be there for their children breaks through the fear. I wouldn't hope or expect it though as everyone is different. I think just being with your child puts you more in the present and gets you out of your head though and that is really helpful and can lower the anxiety.
