Fatema A., 21

Fatema Akter, a 21-year-old housewife and mother of a 3-year-old son, is 25 weeks pregnant with her second child in breech position. Her family, led by her husband Ahsan Habib, a rickshaw puller earning only 8,000 Taka per month, struggles to make ends meet and cannot afford the cost of an urgent C-section. Without timely surgical intervention, she faces serious risks such as birth trauma, cord prolapse, asphyxia, or even stillbirth for her baby, and potential complications like uterine rupture for herself. Their financial hardship makes it impossible to access the necessary treatment, putting both her life and her baby's future in grave danger.

Fatema Akter was admitted to the hospital on September 15, 2025, with a diagnosis of a second pregnancy with Breech Presentation. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Both mother and newborn were discharged on September 19, 2025, in good health. Her husband and mother came to the hospital to receive her and their child. The family expressed their gratitude to Helpster, Jamuna Clinic and Bablu Abdullah for their treatment and support. Her husband was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

Fatema Akter, at 25 weeks of pregnancy with a breech presentation and a history of previous C-section, requires an urgent cesarean section to prevent life-threatening complications such as birth trauma, cord prolapse, fetal asphyxia, or stillbirth. Failure to perform the surgery increases the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Prompt surgical intervention is essential to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
