Combined Ante-Natal Care

Our ante-natal service

All doctors at Kinsealy Medical Centre provide combined ante-natal care for all our pregnant patients. This includes ante-natal visits, necessary vaccinations, and postnatal care for both mum and baby including the 2-week and 6-week checks.

We strive to develop a lasting relationship with all our parents and their children, providing continuity of care from pregnancy through early childhood and beyond.

What is combined ante-natal care?

Combined (or shared) ante-natal care means that your pregnancy care is shared between your GP at Kinsealy Medical Centre and your obstetrician at the maternity hospital. Routine check-ups and monitoring take place at your GP surgery, with hospital visits for specialist assessments and your birth.

What we provide

• Routine ante-natal check-ups throughout pregnancy
• Blood pressure and urinalysis monitoring
• Vaccinations recommended during pregnancy (e.g. whooping cough, flu)
• Referral to maternity hospital and specialist services where needed
• 2-week postnatal check for mum
• 6-week postnatal check for both mum and baby

Booking your first appointment

If you are pregnant, please book an appointment with your GP online as early as possible to register for ante-natal care. Your GP will confirm your pregnancy and arrange your schedule of check-ups and referral to your chosen maternity hospital.
