N/a
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?

After Birth & Breastfeeding

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
I experienced a very traumatic birth, I gave birth entirely alone in the medical system and was scared into induction, very invasive medical care throughout that led to a c-section without my consent. I was called to work with mushrooms 1.5 years after my birth while in a deep process of healing my birth trauma, moving through the grief and pain of losing my mother young and connecting with my matriarchal lineage. It worked.
did you ingest mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Yes
did you notice any benefits to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
It bridged the lack of connection I felt after my traumatic birth to my baby, supported me in somatically processing birth and matrilineal trauma. Later in parenting supported me in working through postpartum rage
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
challenges to dosing were people around me questioning, judging my intuition to working with the medicine

Parenting

what benefits did you notice in your parenting that you attribute to the mushroom?
They helped me increase my window of tolerance when moving through postpartum rage, grief and the challenges of solo parenting as a neurodivergent mother. Increased my ability to feel connected to my child, to the mother and my lineage
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
None personally, other than the external judgments
what benefits have you noticed about your children that you attribute to the mushroom?
A connectiveness and curiosity to the human experience, a wisdom around death, birth, body and the connection with all things way beyond her years

Summary

what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
Fuck what anyone else says, your intuition, innate knowing as mother/parent knows best. I'd recommend working with entheogens if you've experienced birth trauma or when working with the mother wound
would you recommend this path to other people?
Yes!!!!
