In 1938, DES (diethylstilbestrol) was the first synthetic estrogen to be created. [It] was prescribed to millions of pregnant women, primarily from 1938–1971, [...] in the mistaken belief the drug prevented miscarriage and ensured a healthy baby. But it didn’t work and instead DES harmed the mothers who were prescribed it, the children born of those pregnancies and now possibly their grandchildren and beyond. 3, record 3, English, - DES%20Action%20USA
