Common questions about blood group testing
We understand the uncertainty. Here's what you need to know.
Why do I need to know my blood type during pregnancy?
Your blood type and Rhesus status are essential information for your maternity care. If you’re Rh negative and your baby is Rh positive, your body could develop antibodies that might affect this pregnancy or future pregnancies. Knowing your status early means you can receive Anti-D injections if needed to prevent complications.
What if I'm Rhesus negative?
If you’re Rh negative, don’t worry—this is manageable. You’ll likely need Anti-D injections during pregnancy and after birth to prevent your body from developing antibodies. Share the results with your maternity care provider or consultant to arrange care.
Can I get this test on the NHS?
Yes, blood group testing is part of routine NHS antenatal care at your booking appointment (usually around 8-10 weeks). However, if you want to know sooner, prefer private results for your records, or have missed your NHS appointment, we can provide this test with faster results.
How is the blood sample taken?
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm—the same process as any standard blood test. Our experienced phlebotomist will make you comfortable, and the draw itself takes less than a minute.
When will I receive my results?
Results are typically available within 2-3 working days. We’ll email your results.
Do I need to fast before this test?
No fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral needed. You can book directly online, by phone, or email—often for same-day or next-day appointments. We’re here when you need us, without waiting weeks for authorization
Happy stories from Parents
Real experiences from those who trust our care.
The staff are great and the service is impeccable. Lauren the sonographer is empathetic, personable and so kind which made our 8 week scan a wonderful experience
I’ve visited Flowan a few times over the last few years for various reasons and every time the service and care is outstanding. There are clinics much closer to me I could opt for but travel out of my way to Flowan simply for the service.
Felt safe and comfortable at this clinic! Very good service, would recommend!!
We came for an early pregnancy scan. Such lovely, professional staff at the clinic. Explained everything super clearly and were so friendly! Would really recommend.
The team are so friendly and helpful, really excellent service. We asked not to see the gender of the baby but for it to be part of the surprise package and we couldn’t be happier!! Such a lovely experience seeing our baby
