Tactless questioning

On a visit to the local Healthcare Centre today to have the 22 week scan on our unborne child, my wife was given a questionnaire to complete after the birth - nothing extraordinary about that I hear you say.

However, frankly I was shocked at the first question which read "What was the outcome of the pregnancy - (a) live birth, (b) termination, (c) stillbirth or (d) miscarriage" - not necessarily what you want to think about when you've just found out that you're going to be the proud parents of a little girl in a few months time.
