Bristy A., 30

Bristy Akter is a resilient 30-year-old mother who lives with her husband, 7-year-old son, and elderly parents-in-law in a family of five, doing her best to care for her family despite their difficult circumstances. Her husband is the family's only earning member, working as an auto 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 Bristy and her baby. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely emergency LUCS, the breech pregnancy could lead to obstructed labor, fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, birth injury, severe bleeding, 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) to safely deliver the baby and prevent complications associated with the breech presentation. With timely surgery, appropriate postoperative care, and regular follow-up, Bristy 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 result in 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.
