Ruma A., 25

Ruma Akter, a 25-year-old housewife, is 40+ weeks pregnant with her fourth child and urgently needs a caesarean section. She has a history of two intrauterine deaths and one previous caesarean, making this delivery high-risk. Her husband, Ashraf Miah, is a fisherman and the sole earner for their family of four, with a monthly income of only 7000 Taka, barely enough to meet basic needs. Ruma is known in her community as a quiet, caring mother, deeply devoted to her family despite repeated losses. Without this urgent surgery, both Ruma and her unborn baby are at serious risk of complications or death, a tragedy the family cannot afford emotionally or financially.

After experiencing labor pain for over 40 weeks, she arrived at our hospital where doctors performed an ultrasound that revealed the baby was breech position and low amniotic fluid, making vaginal delivery impossible. An emergency cesarean section was promptly arranged, and the procedure was successful, resulting in the birth of a beautiful baby boy. Both the mother and the baby are safe and sound, with no complications arising from the surgery. The patient's family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Helpster Heroes and the hospital for their timely and effective care.

The patient is diagnosed with a post-dated pregnancy complicated by oligohydramnios and breech presentation, with a history of two intrauterine fetal deaths and one previous caesarean section. Due to these high-risk factors, doctors strongly recommend an immediate caesarean section to prevent severe complications. Without urgent surgical intervention, there is a critical risk of fetal distress, uterine rupture, and possible death of both mother and baby.
