So I’m currently pregnant with my first and have been kind of low key annoyed with how common discussions around pregnancy and related topics remove to term woman or female (I.e birthing people). I started getting bugged by this during my trying to conceive phase and now it bugs me even more. I know it’s kind of a minor thing in the grand scheme of things but I needed to vent. Seriously going through TTC & pregnancy has made me about 10x more aware of how different physically women are.

That said, perhaps his/her name refers to his/her gender? Who knows…

Yep, also never called a pregnant patient over 30 years ago now.
However I was called an 'elderly primigravida'.😒
I suppose it does denote a female person.
(I think they've dropped that now. Not before time. )

Yes, I think that was dropped a good few years ago. Might have applied to me if not dropped!

Quite frankly @Lady1ntheLake other sorts of families can get stuffed if the mother-infant dyad offends them.
