Lovely A., 28

Mrs. Lovely Akter is a 28-year-old mother who lives with her husband, Mohammad Alauddin, and their 14-year-old daughter, Taiyeba Akter, in a fragile wood-and-tin house. Her husband is the family’s only earning member and makes approximately BDT 6,000 per month as a daily wage labourer, which is barely enough for basic necessities and leaves them unable to afford emergency maternity care. When Lovely developed severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding at 38+ weeks of pregnancy, doctors diagnosed Placenta Previa with a previous Caesarean section, making the pregnancy high-risk and requiring urgent specialist care. Without timely treatment and a safely planned delivery, she could suffer massive bleeding, severe anemia, shock, or other life-threatening complications, while her unborn baby could develop severe distress, oxygen deprivation, or even die. With no financial means to manage these costs, the family sought Helpster Charity’s support to protect both Lovely’s life and the life of her un

Lovely Akter, a 28-year-old woman, was admitted to Al-Aqsa Hospital & Diagnostic Centre on 04 June 2026 at 37+ weeks of pregnancy with severe lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosed with placenta previa and a history of one previous Caesarean section, she underwent an emergency Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) on the same day to protect both mother and baby. After receiving four days of post-operative care, her condition improved satisfactorily, and she was discharged in stable condition on 07 June 2026 with advice to follow medical instructions and attend follow-up visits. Lovely Akter and her family express sincere gratitude to Helpster Charity, volunteers Mr. Anowar Hossain Anu and Mr. Meghlal Roy, and the doctors, nurses, and staff of Al-Aqsa Hospital & Diagnostic Centre for their financial assistance, compassionate support, and dedicated care.

According to the doctor, immediate Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS), with blood transfusion if required, is essential to ensure a safe delivery and protect both Lovely and her baby. With timely surgery and proper management of blood loss, the baby can be delivered safely while reducing the risk of severe maternal complications. If left untreated, placenta previa may cause sudden and massive vaginal bleeding, leading to severe anemia, shock, organ failure, and potentially maternal death. The baby may also develop fetal distress, oxygen deprivation, premature complications, or even die. Therefore, timely Caesarean delivery is potentially life-saving for both mother and baby.
