After five years, the couple received the best piece of news that they were finally pregnant in early 2017. This was around the time Foo also started his own communications company — then known as Prospr Communications — handling public relations and digital marketing for SMEs and start-ups.
It is hard dealing with the loss of a family member, especially one that never made it into this world. For Jeremy Foo and his wife Quin Yeo, who lost their unborn son in the third trimester, the pain was even greater as they took a long time to conceive him. They had planned to call him Elliot.
“We married quite young at 26 and thought that conceiving would be very easy. So, after trying for several months, we consulted a gynaecologist and discovered that Quin has what is called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). That basically means you can never have a child without the help of medication, and even then, it’s not a sure win but at least it improves your chances,” says 35-year-old Foo, founder of public relations (PR) consultancy Elliot & Co.
