Yesterday I wound up at the hospital again for a birth wearing flip flops. We were doing visits, and I wasn't anticipating a birth. I suppose I should be prepared and always have proper shoes in my car, but sometimes proper shoes look silly with skirts, which is what I'm usually wearing these days. No one said anything, but I feel like I shouldn't be wearing flip flops at the hospital. It happened once before, with sandals, not flip flops, and I didn't notice until later that I had blood on my toes. Though I often end up with blood and/or fluid or vernix on my arms or clothes, it's not usually on my feet!
