Thirty-one-year-old Mushfika Akter, a teacher at a renowned school in the capital, is currently in her eighth month of unplanned pregnancy.
However, due to the ongoing pandemic, like many pregnant mothers, Mushfika could barely visit a gynaecologist for antenatal appointments, even though she faced several health complications.
The mother of two said she used to visit the doctor every month for routine check-ups during her last pregnancy.
"But this time, from fear of the second Covid-19 wave, I couldn't make any appointments even though I am facing severe health issues like low haemoglobin levels and urinary tract infection. I find it even more risky as I haven't been vaccinated yet."
