Pregnancy and Ante Natal Care

At Ace Doctors, we understand that pregnancy is a life-changing journey — one that deserves expert care, compassion, and support. Our team of experienced GPs is here to guide and care for you from the earliest stages of pregnancy right through to birth, working closely with your chosen hospital, midwife, or obstetrician.

We offer comprehensive antenatal (pregnancy) care, designed to monitor your health and your baby’s development, while addressing your physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs.

Caring for you at every stage — from planning to parenthood.

At Ace Doctors, we offer compassionate, holistic care for women throughout every stage of their reproductive journey — from pre-conception planning to pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Whether you’re planning a family, navigating an unplanned pregnancy, or seeking support during the antenatal or postnatal period, our team is here to listen, guide, and care for you with empathy and expertise.

Our Services Include:

Family Planning & Pre-Conception Counselling

We support individuals and couples in planning for a healthy pregnancy. We provide family planning and pre-conception counselling to support individuals and couples in preparing for a healthy pregnancy. These consultations may involve fertility awareness education, menstrual tracking, lifestyle and nutrition advice, and a review of your medical history or existing conditions.

If you suspect you may be pregnant, we offer early pregnancy confirmation and counselling in a warm, supportive setting. We’ll provide accurate pregnancy testing, organise initial blood work or an early dating scan, and take the time to understand your needs. Whether the pregnancy is planned or unexpected, we support you with clear information, respectful discussion, and personalised guidance about your next steps.

Routine Antenatal Care

For patients continuing with their pregnancy, we offer comprehensive antenatal care tailored to your unique needs at every stage. Regular antenatal visits help us monitor your health and your baby’s development, manage any pregnancy-related symptoms, and screen for early signs of complications such as gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. These visits also include important education around nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and mental wellness during pregnancy.

We offer regular antenatal check-ups to monitor:

• Your blood pressure, weight, and physical well-being

• Baby’s growth and development

• Early signs of gestational conditions (e.g. diabetes, pre-eclampsia.

• We also provide education on birthing options, nutrition, exercise, and managing common pregnancy symptoms.

Shared Maternity Care

We are proud to offer shared maternity care in partnership with local public and private hospitals. This model allows you to have most of your pregnancy check-ups with your trusted GP at Ace Doctors, while your care is coordinated seamlessly with your chosen hospital or specialist team. Shared care provides continuity, convenience, and a familiar face throughout your pregnancy journey while remaining connected to your hospital team for delivery and specialist input when needed.

Pregnancy Screenings & Referrals

All recommended antenatal tests and screenings can be coordinated through our clinic, including dating scans, first-trimester screening, NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), blood group and antibody screening, iron studies, and glucose tolerance tests. We take care to explain each test and result in a way that’s easy to understand, helping you make informed decisions about your care.

We coordinate all routine pregnancy investigations, including:

• Dating and anatomy scans

Pregnancy Immunisations

During pregnancy, we also offer vaccinations that protect both mother and baby. These include the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine, recommended from 20 weeks, and the influenza vaccine, which can be safely given at any stage of pregnancy. These vaccinations play a crucial role in reducing the risk of serious illness for both you and your newborn.

Mental Health Support During and After Pregnancy

Mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical health during pregnancy and beyond. Our GPs are trained to provide mental health support during the perinatal period, including screening for anxiety, depression, or stress, and offering ongoing care through counselling, support strategies, and referrals to perinatal mental health professionals if needed. We are here to ensure you feel supported in all aspects of your journey to parenthood.
