Most Sarmin B., 32

Sarmin Begum is a 32-year-old housewife and mother of two, currently expecting her third child. Her husband is the sole earning member and works as a day laborer, earning only approximately USD 81 per month, which is often insufficient to meet the family’s basic needs and leaves them unable to afford additional medical expenses. Despite their financial hardship, Sarmin remains hopeful and caring, wishing to have a safe delivery and provide a healthy start for her baby. At 34+ weeks of pregnancy, she developed persistent watery vaginal discharge and was admitted to Jamuna Clinic, where ultrasound revealed a single live fetus in breech presentation with severe oligohydramnios. Without timely obstetric management, severe loss of amniotic fluid and breech presentation may increase the risk of fetal distress and other serious complications during delivery, making appropriate care essential.

According to the doctor, LUCS is recommended to provide a safer delivery because of the breech presentation and severe oligohydramnios. With timely cesarean delivery, appropriate maternal monitoring, and newborn care, the risks associated with difficult breech delivery and reduced amniotic fluid can be minimized, improving the chances of a safe outcome for both mother and baby. If treatment is delayed, severe oligohydramnios may increase the risk of umbilical cord compression and fetal distress, while breech presentation may contribute to difficult labor and other serious complications.
