why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
The first time i took mushrooms was early in my pregancy, I felt I was pregnant for some weeks, however I was getting non pregnant results on 7 plus Pregancy tests, so I decided to do a ceremony with mushrooms and my partner to call back in my bleed. It was strong and fun, lots of release, sounding singing and laughter, still no bleed. The hospital discovered I was pregnant by accident on a scan to see if my period was missing due to PCOS, a welcomed surprise :) later I took them To connect deeper with my baby and prepare for motherhood

Emotional processing of the journey, release of fear around motherhood, connection to my baby

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?
Micro amounts definitely helped me release looping negative patterns of mood and thought, ceremonies have helped me gain a strong kinship to other women and mothers in my area, helped me to grow in confidence, remember myself, reconnect to play lightness and freedom, supported me remembering the magic in what can become repetitive and mundane. It's also helped the intimacy in my relationship - when we go on that jounrya and meet in the soft space of spirit beyond logistic and house hold - remembering our love for each other - no difference noticed with my breast feeding
