One of my best friends tried six times and even with doctor's care could not get past the 3rd month - and it was due to the drug her mother had taken. Sorry I can't remember its name. I did ask my own mother if she had taken it when pregnant with me and she had not. There was a lot of subsequent litigaiton about it. I'm sure someone here will remember the drug. Hugs.
Thalidomide?
no. Tragic, but completely different.
She is too young. I was born in 1968 and that was the last year they used it in the US. I also don't know the name but when doctors see my cervix and the year I was born they always ask.
It may be DES. It wasn't completely banned in the US until many years later, late 1990s', believe it or not.
