Nabila A., 19

Nabila Akter is a resilient 19-year-old young mother who lives with her husband and parents in a family of four, facing daily financial hardship while preparing to welcome her first child. Her husband is the family's only earning member, working as a misuk driver with a monthly income of approximately BDT 8,000, which is barely enough to cover food and other basic necessities, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of emergency surgery, hospitalization, medicines, and delivery-related care. After learning about Helpster Charity through volunteer Masud Rana, the family sought assistance in the hope of ensuring a safe delivery for Nabila and her baby. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely emergency Lower Uterine Cesarean Section (LUCS), the breech pregnancy with active labour could lead to obstructed labour, fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, severe maternal bleeding, birth injury, stillbirth, and other life-threatening complications that could endanger both the mother and her baby.

The recommended treatment is an emergency Lower Uterine Cesarean Section (LUCS) under spinal anesthesia to safely deliver the baby and prevent complications associated with the breech presentation during active labour. With timely surgery, appropriate postoperative care, and regular follow-up, Nabila is expected to recover well, and both mother and baby have an excellent chance of a healthy outcome. If left untreated or if delivery is delayed, the breech presentation may lead to obstructed labour, fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, birth trauma, severe maternal bleeding, uterine rupture, stillbirth, or other life-threatening complications that could endanger the lives of both the mother and her baby. Early surgical intervention is essential to ensure a safe delivery and recovery.
