Hi all. I'm 8 weeks pg and had my booking in appointment today and was told the date of my 12 week scan. I'm a teacher and it falls on the second day back of this new term. At work we are requested to give a weeks notice of any appointments during school hours.
My question is, legally do I have to tell my headteacher what appointment I need to go to? I'd rather wait until after the scan but if I've not said does it then look bad when if all is well I go back and say I'm pg? and....
As it is the holiday's do you think I should contact the head to give notice? If so how? email/phone call? or do I not interrupt the heads holidays but am then in the bad books for asking for time off immediately at the start of term?
The day is actually a training day so no cover would need to be arranged for me. I never usually request time for doctor's appointments and also don't want to be thought badly of asking for time when I've had a long summer holiday if I told a white lie and made something up.
Thanks.
