Rima A., 24

At just 24, Rima Akhter, a devoted housewife, holds onto hope for her family, a dream she shares with her five-year-old daughter, Sumaiya. With her husband, Sabbir Ahmed, an imam whose modest income of 8,000 taka barely supports their household of five, the prospect of affording another C-section is a crushing burden. Now 35 weeks pregnant with dangerously low amniotic fluid, a condition that threatens both her and her unborn child, Rima faces a terrifying reality. Without this life-saving surgery, she risks a uterine rupture or stillbirth, a devastating outcome that would not only shatter her family but also threaten the very future her husband and in-laws, Helal and Sima, so desperately hope for.

The Caesarean section was done on July 20, 2025, and a healthy baby was born. Both mother and baby are healthy and were discharged on July 23, 2025. Both mother and baby were health during discharged.

Given the patient's condition, the doctor's prognosis emphasizes the necessity of close monitoring and timely intervention to ensure a safe outcome. If the oligohydramnios is left unaddressed, the risk of the umbilical cord becoming compressed increases dramatically, which can cut off the baby's vital oxygen and nutrient supply and lead to fetal distress, brain damage, or even stillbirth. The doctor's treatment plan will likely involve careful fetal monitoring and a decision on the safest time and method of delivery, which, given the previous C-section, will likely be a planned cesarean section. By proceeding with a medically supervised delivery, the doctors can mitigate the risks associated with both the low amniotic fluid and the prior surgical history, leading to a much safer and healthier outcome for both the mother and the baby.
