Iqra Awaits a C-Section to Deliver Her Baby Safely

Iqra Usman's Story

Iqra Usman, a 29-year-old woman from Lahore, is over 31 weeks pregnant. Due to her history of two C-sections, she knows the risks. Therefore, she decided to consult a gynecologist at a local hospital. After performing an ultrasound scan and considering her past medical history, her doctor strongly recommended a C-section for this delivery too. This decision has been made to ensure the safety of both Iqra and her baby. However, the cost of the C-section is overwhelming for her family.

If Iqra does not undergo the required C-section, she and her baby may face serious complications. Given her history of two previous C-sections, a normal delivery may cause significant risks including uterine rupture, excessive bleeding, and fetal distress. These complications can put both her life and her baby’s life in danger.

Iqra lives in a modest home with her husband and two children. Her husband, the sole provider for the family, works at a factory and earns just PKR 35,000 per month. With this meager monthly income, they hardly manage to pay their utility bills amounting to PKR 2000, and educational expenses of around PKR 10,000 per month. The rest goes towards household needs. There is no room left for savings, and they can’t pay for the surgery. During this challenging time, Iqra reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

Iqra expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:

“I just want my baby to come into this world safely. I’ve been through two surgeries before, and I know how risky it can be. But we can’t afford the operation this time. Please help us in this desperate moment.”

Iqra awaits a safe delivery and the chance to hold her newborn in her arms. She dreams of a healthy future for her children and is doing everything in her power to bring her baby into this world safely.
