Mine was in hospital both times... first c/s and second by ob. I actually never thought about putting something on the bed nor car seat. It wasn't until about a month ago that I said to DH...you know we should buy a cheap shower curtain and keep it with some towels in the car when it gets closer...lol...why didn't I think of that last time in case?? Still didn't think about the bed, but thanks for the tip!!!
