I think my trips have prepared me...UPDATE

to embrace the unknown.
I'm 35 weeks and 6 days pregnant today and this is my first baby.
I had no self soothing skills and no understanding of how to relax and embrace feelings and waves before I did shrooms, lsd and salvia.
I was terrified of the unknown and clung to the idea that I could control things and the things I couldn't would make me panic.
Today, I think I have the beginning signs of labour and I'm so excited and afraid at the same time but I feel myself drawing from my experiences with those drugs to help cope with the cramps and to keep myself calm and grounded.
I would have never been able to do that!
In my mind labour is kind of like a rough shroom trip! I had a really bad one that I ended up just riding the waves (it felt physically painful too) and I coped really well and felt so proud and confident when it was over.
Just a thought, I'm about to have the trip of my life soon :p (ie. having my baby!)
(ETA - I have not done ANY drugs since finding out I was pregnant and I hadn't done anything other than marijuana for months prior to finding out!)
----------------
I had my baby! I was totally right! I did awesome and it was like the craziest trip ever! It was really intense going through labour, my first time and it was really quick! I went from 3cm with no pain the day before to 5cm at 10am to 8cm 45 minutes later, to having my baby exactly at 1pm!
I did it completely drug free (minus the antibiotics I had to be on while in labour) and it was awesome and so empowering!!
There was a point, where I thought I couldnt do it anymore but that was because I didn`t believe he was on his way out (they said his head was there but it didnt take as long as everything I read and learned about said so I thought they were just being encouraging and that he wasnt really, RIGHT there!) because it was pretty intense feeling at that point and I was sure it was going to get more intense, but it didnt!
I was hazy, dreamy and confused during the labour and pushing part - very shroom-like and then the SECOND he came out it was like someone snapped their fingers and everything because surreal and alive and bright and the most real feeling ever!
I definitely owe my strength to my trips I kept telling myself that the pain had a purpose and I can DO ANYTHING for 1 minute and that these were all just waves that needed to peak before they could go away. I took advantage of the rest times and went into total relaxation, people thought I was sleeping. All of these things I learned from dealing with rough thoughts and difficult trips!

Congrats, my sister smoked a bit of marijuana in the beginning before she found out.
And let me assure you my niece is freaking brilliant and filled with talent.

I'm not worried about the weed! Besides it was only roughly 12 days from when I got pregnant until I had an inkling something in my body wasn't right which is sooner than most people who weren't trying to get pregnant!
I was more concerned about the fact I got sh!tfaced drunk two days before I found out but my doctor told me it would be fine because it was so early. She laughed at my panic about that!
I just wanted to put that disclaimer just in case it started people telling me I shouldn't using while pregnant and such Just covering my butt is all!

Wonder what it would be like when the baby wants out and you're tripping the fuck out. Animalistic and weird i guess...
