The mother was extremely worried that something might be wrong with her baby and she didn't feel safe in the birth center anymore.

There was a birthing center horror story where the center ran out of essential medications. A woman in labor needed painkillers, but they had none in stock. In addition, there have been instances where the birthing center didn't have a proper backup plan for emergencies. For instance, if a mother had a severe hemorrhage after delivery, they didn't have the means to quickly transfer her to a hospital with better facilities. Some centers also have issues with the quality of post - natal care. A mother was discharged too early without proper instructions on how to care for her newborn and herself, and she ended up having to go back to the hospital with various complications.
