Rumi A., 28

Rumi Akter is a resilient 28-year-old mother who lives with her husband, their 4-year-old son, and her husband's elderly parents in a family of five. Her husband is the family's only earning member, serving as an imam at a local mosque with a monthly income of approximately BDT 7,000, which is barely enough to cover food and other essential expenses, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of hospitalization, investigations, medicines, and delivery-related treatment. After learning about Helpster Charity through a staff member of Life Care Hospital, the family sought assistance in the hope of accessing the urgent medical care Rumi requires. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely obstetric management, moderate oligohydramnios can lead to umbilical cord compression, fetal distress, complications during delivery, stillbirth, and other life-threatening conditions that could endanger both the mother and her baby.

Rumi Akter was admitted to the hospital on 20/06/2026 at 37 weeks of pregnancy due to complications from moderate oligohydramnios, which made normal delivery risky. Considering the potential complications, 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, Rumi received appropriate post-operative care, including medications, antibiotics, intravenous (IV) fluids, and nutritional support. Both mother and baby remained stable and showed steady improvement during their hospital stay. Within a few days, Rumi was able to move comfortably and care for her newborn. She was discharged from the hospital on 23/06/2026 in good health. Rumi 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.

Doctors have advised a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) along with supportive treatment to ensure the safe delivery of Rumi Akter’s baby and protect both mother and child. With timely surgery and proper medical care, there is a strong chance of a safe delivery and gradual recovery for Rumi. Treatment will help reduce the risks associated with moderate oligohydramnios and improve the outcome for both mother and baby. However, if left untreated, serious complications such as fetal distress, umbilical cord compression, breathing problems at birth, prolonged or obstructed labor, and, in severe cases, loss of oxygen to the baby may occur. These complications can become life-threatening for both mother and baby if timely medical intervention is not provided.
