Sahida B., 19

Sahida Begum, a humble housewife who found solace in gardening and cooking, faced the greatest challenge of her life with her breech pregnancy at 35 weeks. Her husband's meager earnings as a day laborer were barely enough to sustain them, leaving no room for the expensive C-section Sahida's doctor, Dr. Mahfifa, recommended. The family's dire financial situation meant they had no way to pay for the urgent surgery. Without the operation, Sahida's dream of a healthy baby could be shattered, as a breech birth could lead to a catastrophic outcome, risking both her life and the baby's. The fear of a tragic delivery loomed over her, a heartbreaking consequence of their poverty.

Sahida Begum was admitted to the hospital on August 21, 2025, with a diagnosis of first pregnancy with 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 25 August, 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 and Bablu Abdullah for their treatment and support. Her husband was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

Sahida Begum, who is 35 weeks pregnant with a breech baby, faces a high-risk situation that urgently requires medical intervention. According to Dr. Mahfifa's prognosis, the baby's position, where the feet or bottom are positioned to deliver first, significantly increases the risk of complications during childbirth. These risks include birth trauma, cord prolapse, asphyxia, and even stillbirth. A Cesarean section (C-section) is therefore not just an option but a critical necessity to ensure a safe delivery for both Sahida and her baby. Delaying or forgoing this surgery due to financial constraints could lead to a tragic outcome, making the need for the C-section immediate and essential.
