Nah
People who think they deserve to know everyone's personal business under the guise of 'polite conversation' ought to be taught otherwise.

it's not exactly digging to find out people's intimate secrets.
yes, the circumstances aren't great, but it's a completely innocuous question, most likely asked in all innocence.

Common fucking courtesy works both ways. Perhaps the question shouldn't be asked, but that doesn't make it right to get uppity or to make someone feel horribly uncomfortable with the unpleasant details.

if you feel uncomfortable with the first response delivered with a smile
and a soft voice then thats your call. There's no unpleasant details, no descriptions of dead babies, blood eternal blood and clots, just a short clear sentence
