Arifa K., 23

Most. Arifa Khatun is a kind, caring, and resilient 23-year-old mother who dreams of safely welcoming her second child and giving both of her children a healthy and secure future. She lives with her husband and young son, while her husband is the family's only earning member, working as a day laborer with a very limited income, making it impossible to afford the cost of an urgent Caesarean section, especially while still repaying the loan taken for her first delivery. After learning about Helpster Charity from Dr. Amulla, the family sought help from Bablu Abdullah, who visited their home and verified their financial hardship, giving them hope during this difficult time. Doctors have advised an urgent Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) because the baby is in a breech position, making a normal delivery unsafe. Without timely surgery, both Arifa and her unborn baby face a high risk of obstructed labor, severe bleeding, fetal distress, birth injury, stillbirth, and other life-threatening complications that could endanger both of their lives.

The treating obstetrician has advised an urgent Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) as the safest delivery option because the baby is in a breech presentation and the pregnancy has reached full term. With timely surgery, the baby can be delivered safely, significantly reducing the risk of birth complications while protecting the mother's health and improving the chances of a full recovery for both. Following appropriate postoperative care and regular follow-up, Arifa is expected to recover well and care for her newborn and family. If LUCS is delayed or not performed, both the mother and baby face a high risk of obstructed labor, fetal distress, birth injury, severe bleeding, stillbirth, and other life-threatening complications that could endanger both of their lives.
