Maternity

Our community midwives co-ordinate maternity care in the practice. If you have a positive home pregnancy test, please use the self-referral to Ipswich maternity services form.

Your antenatal and postnatal care will be shared between the midwife and your own doctor.

Ladies hoping to conceive, or in early pregnancy, are advised to obtain folic acid and vitamin D supplements from a pharmacy.

Find a pharmacy

Folic acid helps to reduce the risks of your baby having a neural tube defect. If your BMI is 30 or above, you should take a daily 5mg dose of folic acid. This is a higher dose than the usual pregnancy dose, so you'll need a prescription.

This can be requested via our Prescription Request Form Ideally, this should be taken a month before you get pregnant and until you reach your 13th week of pregnancy.

If you didn't take it before you got pregnant, do not worry, just start taking it now until you are 13 weeks.

Minor Surgery

Some minor surgical procedures can be undertaken at the surgery. Your usual doctor can discuss this with you when relevant.

Women's Health

Most women aged between 25 and 64 should have a cervical screening taken every 3 to 5 years. This is to detect any changes in the cells of the cervix which might lead to the development of cancer.

Early detection can prevent this happening. You will receive a reminder but please contact us if you think your recall is overdue.

We do have clinicians trained in family planning if you would like to discuss your options.
