Mst Sabina A., 24

Mst. Sabina Akter is a 24-year-old mother who lives with her husband and young son in a financially struggling household where her husband’s small-scale farming income is barely enough to provide food and meet daily necessities. Despite these hardships, Sabina is a caring, hardworking, and hopeful woman who dreams of giving birth to a healthy baby and building a better future for her children. During her second pregnancy, she developed lower abdominal pain and reduced fetal movements, and an ultrasound revealed that her baby is in a breech position, placing both mother and child at increased risk during delivery. The family cannot afford the cost of specialized obstetric care and delivery services, as their limited income is already stretched by household expenses and the needs of their young son. Without timely medical intervention, the breech presentation may lead to obstructed labor, fetal distress, birth complications, and potentially life-threatening risks for both mother and baby. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Akul Ahmed and later sought assistance from Helpster Volunteer Bablu Abdullah.

According to the treating doctors, LUCS (Lower Uterine Caesarean Section) is the safest option for Sabina Akter due to the baby's breech presentation and reduced fetal movements at 38+ weeks of pregnancy. Timely surgery will help ensure a safe delivery, reduce the risk of birth complications, and protect the health of both mother and baby. Without prompt intervention, the baby may develop severe fetal distress, birth injury, oxygen deprivation, or even stillbirth. Delayed treatment may also place the mother at risk of obstructed labor, excessive bleeding, infection, and other life-threatening complications. Therefore, timely LUCS is essential to achieve a safe outcome for both mother and child.
