Description

Suggestion from @tomjemmett - we use the term BIRTH throughout docs, e.g. CLASS_BIRTH_EVENT and CLASS_BIRTH_NONELECTIVE_C_SECTION

Would it be better to use the term DELIVERY instead of BIRTH, throughout? Delivery refers to the patient whose record we're using. Birth refers to the child.

Research direction

Search the documentation for BIRTH, CLASS_BIRTH_EVENT, and CLASS_BIRTH_NONELECTIVE_C_SECTION, then review how the terms are used for the patient and child. Confirm the terminology decision with maintainers first; if DELIVERY is chosen, update the affected documentation consistently and verify no BIRTH references remain where they describe the patient's delivery.
