Color may not be so appealing since it may be a bit messy. Anyway, B&W will last the longest! It seems that current delivery rooms use more like normal home lighting so 400 speed film may be what works best. Look at this link for a vintage birthing picture (from 1977) Delivery room lighting was a bit different from what it is now! http://www.henryambrose.com/henry4.jpg The doctor (who also delivered me) had this on his office wall for many years until he retired.
