Most. Ajima Akter R., 19

Most. Ajima Akter Rumi is a kind and hardworking 19-year-old young mother who dreams of building a home of her own and safely welcoming her first child into the world. She lives with her husband and elderly parents-in-law in fragile conditions, where her husband is the only earning member, working as a van driver with a monthly income of only BDT 6,000, making it impossible for the family to afford the cost of the treatment she urgently needs. Doctors have found that her baby is in a breech position, placing both mother and baby at high risk, and without timely treatment, they could face serious, potentially life-threatening complications, including prolonged or obstructed labor, fetal distress, lack of oxygen to the baby, severe bleeding, birth injury, stillbirth, or loss of the mother's life. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a previous Helpster beneficiary, giving them hope when they had no other way to pay for her treatment. With timely medical care, Ajima and her baby have the best chance of a safe delivery and a healthy future together.

The recommended treatment for Most. Ajima Akter Rumi is a Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS) under Spinal Anesthesia Block (SAB), as it provides the safest approach for delivering the baby in the presence of a breech presentation and significantly reduces the risk of maternal and fetal complications. With prompt surgical management and appropriate postoperative care, both the mother and the newborn are expected to make a good recovery, allowing the baby to grow and develop normally. However, if delivery is delayed or left unmanaged, the pregnancy may be complicated by prolonged or obstructed labor, umbilical cord prolapse or compression, fetal distress due to reduced oxygen supply, and birth-related injuries. In severe situations, prolonged fetal oxygen deprivation may lead to permanent neurological damage or fetal death, while the mother may face serious complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, severe infection, uterine rupture, or other life-threatening obstetric emergencies. Early surgical intervention is therefore essential to ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and child.
