Summary
what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
I wish I had started microdosing when I was earlier in my postpartum journey. I was just scared what it could do to my daughter. I was also nervous that maybe someone would take her away from me if they found out with some type of blood test.
would you recommend this path to other people?
Yes but there needs to be more literature and support
