Hi Jennie:

Our law firm has been dealing with the DES issue. From all I have read, DES causes the malformation of a female fetus preventing the grown woman from completing pregnancies to full term. IT sounds like you had a rough time, but were successful in having a child. From all I have read, that is the big issue with DES: not having a completed successful pregnancy. >
