Shamima A., 19

Shamima Akter is a kind and hopeful 19-year-old young mother who dreams of safely welcoming her first child and building a better future for her family. She lives with her husband, his elderly mother, and his younger sister, while her husband is the only earning member, working as a construction day laborer with a monthly income of only BDT 7,000, making it impossible for the family to afford the cost of the emergency surgery she urgently needs. Doctors have found that her pregnancy has continued beyond the expected due date, placing both mother and baby at high risk, and without timely treatment, they could face serious, potentially life-threatening complications, including fetal distress, lack of oxygen to the baby, prolonged or obstructed labor, severe bleeding, stillbirth, or loss of the mother's life. The family learned about Helpster Charity from a patient in their area who had previously received treatment and support, giving them hope when they had no other way to pay for her treatment. With timely medical care, Shamima and her baby have the best chance of a safe delivery and a healthy future together.

Shamima Akter was admitted to the hospital on 07/05/2026 due to complications from a postdated pregnancy, which increased the risk of delayed labor and fetal distress. Considering these risks, the doctors proceeded with a planned Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS). The surgery was successfully performed, and a healthy baby was delivered safely. Following the operation, Shamima received appropriate post-operative care, including medications, antibiotics, and nutritional support. Both mother and baby remained stable and showed steady improvement during their hospital stay. Within a few days, Shamima was able to move comfortably and care for her newborn. She was discharged from the hospital on 10/05/2026 in good health. Shamima and her family expressed their sincere gratitude to Helpster Charity, its volunteers, and the medical team for their compassionate support and timely intervention, which ensured a safe delivery and the well-being of both mother and child.

The doctors have recommended a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) to ensure the safe delivery of Shamima Akter’s baby, as her postdated pregnancy increases the risk of complications. With timely surgical intervention and proper medical care, there is a high chance of a safe delivery, allowing Shamima to recover and care for her newborn and family. This procedure will help reduce risks such as fetal distress, prolonged labor, and complications associated with delayed delivery. However, without proper treatment, serious complications may arise, potentially endangering the lives of both the mother and the baby, making timely intervention essential.
