Most. Shohagi A., 18

Shohagi is an 18-year-old honest and hardworking pregnant woman who enjoys making delicious food and dreams of building a home of her own. She lives with her husband and elderly in-laws in a four-member family, while her husband, Ripon (25), is the sole earner, working as a day laborer and earning only around USD 49 per month, making medical and delivery expenses difficult to afford. At 33 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, Shohagi developed lower abdominal pain, discomfort, fatigue, and abdominal tightening and was diagnosed with breech presentation after an ultrasound at New Evercare Hospital. Without timely obstetric management, breech presentation may make vaginal delivery difficult and increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a previous beneficiary and is seeking support for a safe delivery.

The recommended treatment for Shohagi Akter is a Lower Uterine Cesarean Section (LUCS) under Spinal Anesthesia (SAB) due to the breech presentation. Timely surgery, proper medical management, and close monitoring can help ensure a safe delivery and reduce complications. If treatment is delayed, the baby may face risks such as fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, birth trauma, and head entrapment, while the mother may develop infection, prolonged labor, or other serious complications. Therefore, timely medical intervention is essential for the safety of both mother and baby.
