Six routine pregnancy blood tests in one visit, without HIV screening, grouped so you and your doctor or midwife can look after both you and your baby. From one blood draw.
Blood count and group
FBC, ABO Grouping and Rhesus Factor. A full blood count to check for anaemia, with your blood group and Rhesus type.
Rhesus antibody check
Coombs Test (Indirect). Looks for antibodies that can affect the baby, especially important if you are Rhesus negative.
Infection screens
Syphilis (RPR/VDRL), Hepatitis B. Screens for infections that can be passed to the baby, so they can be managed early.
Immunity check
Rubella IgG. Checks whether you are immune to rubella (German measles), which can harm a baby in early pregnancy.

What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
These are routine screening tests. Your doctor or midwife reads them alongside your history and examination; they do not replace antenatal care.
- HIV screening is a routine and recommended part of antenatal care; this panel leaves it out by choice. The Antenatal Panel with HIV includes it, and HIV testing is also free at public clinics.
- A reactive syphilis screen is always confirmed with a further test before it is treated as a diagnosis, and it is very treatable in pregnancy.
- Share all results with your doctor or midwife, who guides the next steps.
- This panel covers the routine screens; your clinician may add others based on your history.
