Shajo B., 42

Shajo Begum, a 30-year-old housewife, is currently 30 weeks pregnant with her baby in breech position, which requires a cesarean section to ensure a safe delivery. Her family, consisting of her husband Mominul Islam, a day laborer earning only 8,000 Taka per month, her son Sagor, who is a 22-year-old job seeker, and her 16-year-old daughter Sabikun, struggles to afford the high cost of the surgery. Despite her strength and hope for a healthy delivery, the breech presentation puts her at risk of complications such as birth trauma, cord prolapse, or even stillbirth if not properly managed. If she does not receive the necessary C-section, both mother and baby could face life-threatening dangers during delivery, which could tragically endanger their lives and deepen their family's hardship.

Shajo Begum was admitted to the hospital on August 21, 2025, with a diagnosis of a Breech presentation. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Both mother and newborn were discharged on August 25, 2025, in good health. Her husband came to the hospital to receive her and their child. The family expressed their gratitude to Helpster, Jamuna Clinic, Bablu Abdullah, and Amulla for their treatment and support. Her husband was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

The patient, Shajo Begum, at 30 weeks of gestation, presents with a breech fetal presentation, characterized by the fetus being positioned with its pelvis or feet facing downward instead of the normal cephalic presentation. The obstetrician has advised an emergency cesarean section to prevent potential complications. If the breech presentation is not managed with surgical intervention, there is a significant risk of adverse outcomes including birth trauma, umbilical cord prolapse, fetal asphyxia, or intrauterine fetal demise (stillbirth). Prompt surgical delivery is essential to ensure the safety of both mother and fetus and to prevent life-threatening complications during labor and delivery.
