Mst Sweety B., 28

Mst Sweety Begum is a 28-year-old housewife living with her husband and family, where her husband is the sole earning member and works as a day laborer. The family’s monthly income is only approximately USD 66, and with his irregular earnings and the existing financial burden from borrowing money for her previous cesarean delivery, they cannot afford the cost of her current medical care. Despite these difficulties, Sweety is a caring mother who enjoys cooking and remains hopeful for a safe delivery and a healthy start for her baby. She is now 36+ weeks pregnant with a single live fetus in breech presentation, which increases the risk of complications during labor and delivery. Without timely and appropriate obstetric management, difficult labor or fetal distress could place both mother and baby at serious risk.

According to the doctor, LUCS is recommended to provide a safer delivery for the breech-presenting baby at 36+ weeks. With timely cesarean delivery, appropriate maternal monitoring, and newborn care, the risks associated with complicated breech labor can be reduced, supporting a safer outcome for both mother and baby. If appropriate delivery management is delayed, breech presentation may result in difficult or obstructed labor, fetal distress, birth injury, or other serious complications for the mother and baby.
