As for something to wear, I had my baby in the US but at a birthing center. I wore one of DH shirts, I think he gave it to me because I was cold and never took it off. Luckly it had orange and brown stripes on it and that happens to be where the stains ended up. I envy you ladies since my midwife went out of business d/t the high cost of insurance, I miss her so dearly.
