Most Hajra K., 23

Hajra Khatun, a 23-year-old pregnant woman from a low-income family, is currently 38 weeks into her pregnancy with a diagnosis of oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid). Her doctor has advised an urgent C-section delivery to ensure the safety of both mother and child. However, her family faces significant financial constraints—her husband, Abdul Awal, works as a day laborer with an unstable monthly income of 7,000 BDT, which barely covers their basic needs. With two elderly dependents at home (her paralyzed father-in-law and aging mother-in-law), the family has no savings to afford the necessary surgery. Without timely medical intervention, Hajra risks prolonged labor, fetal distress, or even stillbirth, putting both her and her baby in danger.

Hajra Khatun was admitted to the hospital on June 26, 2025, with a diagnosis of Oligohydramnois. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby. Both mother and newborn were discharged on June 30, 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.

Given Hajra Khatun's diagnosis of oligohydramnios at 38 weeks gestation, an urgent C-section delivery is medically necessary to prevent severe complications such as fetal distress, umbilical cord compression, or stillbirth. Delaying intervention risks hypoxia, birth trauma, or life-threatening maternal hemorrhage, making timely surgical delivery critical for both mother and baby's survival.
