Sadia A., 18

Sadia Akter is a kind and hopeful 18-year-old young mother who dreams of safely welcoming her first child and building a better future for her family. She lives with her husband and his elderly parents, and her husband is the only earning member, working as a salesman with a monthly income of only BDT 7,000, making it impossible for the family to afford the cost of the surgery she urgently needs. Doctors have found that her baby is in a breech position and that she is suffering from anemia, placing both mother and baby at high risk. Without timely treatment, they could face serious, potentially life-threatening complications, including prolonged labor, severe bleeding, lack of oxygen to the baby, birth injury, or even loss of life. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a staff member of Life Care Hospital, giving them hope when they had no other way to pay for her treatment. With timely medical care, Sadia and her baby have the best chance of a safe delivery and a healthy future together.

The doctors have recommended a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) along with supportive treatment, including the management of her anemia, to ensure the safe delivery of Sadia Akter’s baby and to protect the health of both mother and child. With timely surgical intervention and appropriate medical care, there is a high chance of a safe delivery, allowing Sadia to recover gradually and care for her newborn and family. This planned procedure will help reduce the risks associated with breech presentation and anemia, ensuring that the baby is delivered safely and remains stable after birth. However, if appropriate treatment and delivery management are not provided, serious complications may arise, including prolonged or obstructed labor, fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, birth trauma, lack of oxygen during delivery, and excessive bleeding due to anemia. In severe cases, these complications can become life-threatening for both the mother and the baby. Therefore, timely medical care, proper management of her anemia, and prompt surgical intervention are essential to ensure the best possible outcome and give the baby a healthy start to life.
