Masuda B., 41

Mst. Masuda Begum, a 38-week pregnant mother of two, lives with her husband and children in a small tin-made house where four family members struggle to survive on her husband’s meager income as a day laborer. Despite a life of hardship, she is gentle, hopeful, and finds joy in cooking for her family. Now, she is suffering from severe oligohydramnios, a dangerous condition that threatens both her life and the baby’s survival if not treated urgently. Without treatment, she risks losing her child or facing life-threatening complications during delivery. The family, already burdened by poverty, cannot afford the high cost of hospital care, leaving her dreams of giving birth to a healthy baby in grave uncertainty.

Masuda Begum was admitted to the hospital on September 10, 2025, with a diagnosis of a third pregnancy with severe oligohydramnios. Additionally, her two previous delivery was C-section. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Both mother and newborn were discharged on September 15, 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.

The doctor recommends an urgent cesarean section for Masuda Begum to prevent life-threatening complications for both her and her baby. With severe oligohydramnios and a history of two previous C-sections, delaying treatment could result in fetal distress, stillbirth, or serious maternal complications such as uterine rupture or placental issues. A timely C-section offers the best chance of delivering a healthy baby and protecting the mother’s life. If the procedure is performed promptly, Masuda and her child are expected to recover well, with significantly reduced risks of morbidity or mortality. Without this intervention, both mother and baby face a critical situation that could have irreversible consequences.
