Pregnancy
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms before your pregnancy?
Didn't had only used 'recreationally' before
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
Mental health was next level intense, alot of trauma alot of wounds surfacing screaming at me, I got desperate to feel better and to 'snap' out of my head/ego and would be a bonus to be Ble to connect with my partner from a place i hadnt been able to whilst pregnant, so I started micro dosing in the last few weeks of pregnancy
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?
Was able to connect back into to the greater love for myself, my partner and the universe
After Birth & Breastfeeding
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
To quiten the ego and help with anxiety
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?
Felt more able to do things I'd of otherwise felt to anxious to do
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
I found following guidance for Microdosing that you find on the Internet a bit hit or miss, very easy to use too much, I think micro dosing amounts can be very individual and coming up on shrooms can be intense I wasn't a fan whilst pregnant

Can't remember, sorry

Summary
what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
Listen to your body and your mind and if youre feeling called to do something, sit with it see whats right for you. Also start if small as you can doses, better to not have had enough then 'too' much since micro dosing its really opened ny eyes and a few close people around me who have also done it and you can have a mild trip of 3/4/5 shrooms if your tolerance is right down
would you recommend this path to other people?
I would if they felt called to it, i dont believe things like this are for everyone
