	I have used Tri-X and B&W and high speed Ektachrome for color with
good results for ambient light photography in hospital operating rooms where
the use of a flash was inappropriate.  Most operating rooms have a color
temperature range of 3200 to 4000 degrees K.  Adjustable operating room
lights for illumination of the surgical field have special color absorbing
filters; generally there is little near-IR radiation between 800 and 1,000
nanometers to minimize heating of the surgical field.
	You didn't ask this, but personally I think that photography of a
birth for personal reasons is a bit tacky...
