Aside from all the possible complications, please consider the poor patient. She has been pregnant for 9 months, probably exhausted, maybe just had a long unsuccessful labor and winds up with an emergency C-Section. Then, she (lucky her!) gets to spend one night in the birth center and get sent home with a newborn to take care of while recovering from surgery and sudden hormonal shifts. On top of that, she's going to be sleep deprived. The whole system sucks and does nothing to support new families.
