Dr. Jaime Fernandez, Pediatric Neonatologist with Homestead Hospital, says childbirth is a dangerous situation for a woman to be in. "With medical advances and all our new technology that we have, childbirth is, for the most part, a happy and safe experience.

He explains in an unsupervised delivery so many things can go wrong for the mother and have an impact on the baby.
