Jinnah K., 27

Jinnah Khatun is a resilient 27-year-old mother who lives with her husband, their two young daughters, and her elderly parents-in-law in a family of six. Her husband is the family's only earning member, working in a mechanical workshop with an injured hand and earning approximately BDT 6,000 per month, which is barely enough to provide food and other basic necessities, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of hospitalization, medicines, investigations, and delivery-related care. After learning about Helpster Charity through a staff member of CSDK, the family sought assistance in the hope of ensuring a safe pregnancy and delivery for Jinnah and her unborn baby. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely treatment, moderate oligohydramnios with anemia may lead to fetal distress, umbilical cord compression, restricted fetal growth, premature delivery, severe complications during childbirth, and even the loss of the mother or baby.

Doctors have recommended a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) along with supportive treatment and close monitoring to safely manage Jinnah Khatun’s 37-week pregnancy complicated by moderate oligohydramnios and anemia, and to ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and baby. With timely surgery and appropriate medical care, there is a strong chance of a safe delivery and gradual recovery, allowing Jinnah Khatun to return home and care for her newborn. The treatment will help minimize the risks associated with reduced amniotic fluid and maternal anemia while enabling doctors to closely monitor the baby’s condition throughout the delivery. However, if proper treatment and timely delivery are delayed, serious complications such as fetal distress, umbilical cord compression, reduced oxygen supply, breathing difficulties after birth, prolonged or difficult labor, excessive maternal weakness, and even life-threatening risks for both the mother and baby may occur.
