Dr. Tan Niap Hong

I was attended by another gynae, Dr Tan Niap Hong. He was the one who did detail scan on me the previous fortnight. He put the doppler on my tummy and heard nothing. But he said maybe because I was only 23 week pregnant, so baby was too small to be detected using CTG machine nor the doppler. He then arranged for ultrasound. I went to the same room I was in last 2 weeks, with a hope that baby would be born in 4 months time, not now. Alive and kicking. Hubby was still downstairs . I laid down on the bed beside the sonogram and Dr Tan started to do the procedures. The first thing I saw was his heartbeat. HE'S ALIVE! And he moved his fingers a little. It was the nicest thing I ever seen, after thinking that I might losing him. Maybe he as inactive due to the uphadyl I took to relieve my cough. I had a severe cough for more than a week, been drinking honey everyday but nothing change. So I decided to take the uphadyl for expectorant as prescribed by the doctor. Even I only took it once a day. Dr Tan advised me to stop taking the cough syrup, so I should find traditional remedy to stop the coughing. It was so bad that I had to wear Poise (anybody want to send me cloth pantyliners as a babyshower gift? LOL) all the time. He gave me a day sick leave to get rest and wait for the baby's movement to come back. He advised next time if I had the same situation, I should go to the hospital immediately.
