Pregnancy
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms before your pregnancy?
To access an altered state of consciousness in a natural way.
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
I just didn't stop microdosing. Although I did do it less frequently than before pregnancy.
I also wanted to do a bit of a higher dose to connect with the baby and get some wisdom before becoming a mama. I was actually thinking of having some during labour but I never got round to it...
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?
Nothing pregnancy related, just felt more connected to people in my line of work. Was better able to work at the same time as dealing with life and creating one.
After Birth & Breastfeeding
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
Carried on microdosing, but considerably less, mainly because I keep forgetting. I'd like to do a big trip to let go of some stuff and get some mush-wisdom. but it's difficult with a 3 month old.
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?
a) as mentioned above. b) not really. Not sure if any benefits while breastfeeding, though I haven't been dosing much in the last three months. Will do it more now that I'm going back to work and mushroom season is almost upon us.
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Not really.
Parenting

Gentle revelations usually, but I attribute most to cannabis rather than to dosing.
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
Hopefully I won't be able to answer this question.

None yet.
Summary
