The bedside manner of the actual impregnation may be called the conceptive attitude.  Was it due to accident, passion, love, violence, deception, spite, or resignation?  If any of these what was the background and preparation for such an event?  If it was planned, was it planned coldly or warmly, simply or bookishly, with lots of talk, or by strong, silent communion?  The child's script may have the same qualities.  The offspring may be treated the same way.  Was an abortion attempted?  There is almost an infinite number of questions of varying degrees of subtlety possible here, and all these factors can influence the script of the still unborn baby.
