Bristy A., 28

Bristy Akter, a 28-year-old woman who loves cooking, planting trees, and keeping her home organized, was 36 weeks pregnant when she began experiencing lower abdominal pain, reduced fetal movement, and complications from polyhydramnios. She lives with her husband, mother, and sisters in a small tin-shed rental house, surviving on a modest monthly income of just 6,000 BDT, which is far below what is needed for emergency medical care. When government hospitals were unable to provide timely attention due to a lack of doctors, Bristy’s life and her baby’s safety were at serious risk. Without urgent intervention, both she and her unborn child could have faced life-threatening complications, including fetal distress or maternal hemorrhage. Thanks to Helpster Charity and Narayanganj Poly Clinic, Bristy received an emergency cesarean section, and a healthy baby boy was safely delivered, saving both their lives.

Bristy had 36 weeks plus pregnancy. suddenly she complaints of lower abdominal pain. She had also complaints of less foetal movement. Patient got admitted to Narayanganj Poly Clinic.

After operation conservative treatment was given. Now patient is doing well, she is back to her normal life with smiling face. ‎

With the timely cesarean section performed under spinal anesthesia, Bristy Akter and her baby received life-saving care that successfully addressed the risks associated with prolonged labor, polyhydramnios, and reduced fetal movement. The emergency resuscitation ensured that the newborn started life safely and healthily, minimizing the risk of respiratory or other complications. Doctors anticipate a full recovery for both mother and child, with normal growth and development expected for the baby and no long-term health issues for Bristy.
