That it is NOT always comfortable or easy!!! That I’m shown what is there for me to move through thematically/long term instead of being handed a magic fix

Haven’t ever followed a protocol
did you have any support with dosing?
when did you start ingesting mushrooms?
before i became pregnant

Pregnancy

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms before your pregnancy?
It wasn’t a conscious choice related to pregnancy status- postpartum with my second babe and prior to current pregnancy is just when I felt called to the medicine
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
I microdosed a handful of times during this pregnancy but haven’t felt a strong call through most of it
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?

After Birth & Breastfeeding

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
Again wasn’t intentionally related to pregnancy status
did you ingest mushrooms while breastfeeding?
did you notice any benefits to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
During this current pregnancy, after my time of regular microdosing, I feel generally more conscious and able to move through difficulties in pregnancy and motherhood with a greater sense of hope and ease (or at least trust when ease doesn’t feel accessible)
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?

Parenting

what benefits did you notice in your parenting that you attribute to the mushroom?
Consciousness- greater understanding of myself that leads to increased awareness of interconnection to my children and their needs
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
Some agitation/irritation due to stimulation at times- so much to process/move through while managing the needs of other human beings
what benefits have you noticed about your children that you attribute to the mushroom?
The positive impacts of consciousness in parenting in general- easier ability to connect

Summary

what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
Trust yourself and inner knowing always above all else
would you recommend this path to other people?
