Swapna K., 26

Swapna Khanam is a kind and hardworking 26-year-old woman who dreams of building a happy future with her husband and child. She lives with her husband, MD Babul Hossain, an auto driver earning only around BDT 6,000 per month, and her mother in a small tin-roofed house, where the family struggles to meet even their basic daily needs. During her full-term pregnancy, doctors discovered that her baby was in a breech position, making a normal delivery extremely risky and putting both mother and baby in danger. Without timely surgical treatment, Swapna could face severe complications during labor, including excessive bleeding, obstructed delivery, or even the loss of her baby. The family was devastated because they could not afford the cost of the lifesaving procedure, and Helpster Charity became their only hope for ensuring a safe delivery and protecting the lives of both mother and child.

According to the treating physician, Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) is recommended for Swapna Khanam due to her 40-week pregnancy, breech presentation, and previous cesarean section history. Timely LUCS is expected to provide a safer delivery, reduce the risks associated with breech presentation and previous uterine surgery, and support a favorable outcome for both mother and baby. If delivery is delayed or appropriate treatment is not provided, the mother may face obstructed labor, uterine rupture, severe bleeding, and other serious complications, while the baby may experience birth injury, oxygen deprivation, or potentially death. Therefore, timely surgical delivery and appropriate postoperative care are important for the safety of both mother and baby.
