Unfortunately, I’ve had to have more time off than anticipated this year. I am pregnant (8 weeks) and was due to see my midwife for the booking in appointment next week. We are supposed to give a form to our managers to sign for planned absence, and this must be done no later than two weeks in advance. Unfortunately I wasn’t in on Monday so have missed the ‘deadline’ as it were.
So quick question - I don’t remember covering anything vital in the first one, although it was during covid and so over the phone. The main concern is delaying the midwife appointment could delay my 12 week scan - does anyone know if this is the case? Sorry for shameless abuse of AIBU.
AIBU?
AIBU to rearrange midwife appointment?

Your employer needs to give you time off for maternity appointments, you may end up getting other appointments with less than 2 weeks notice.

Yes, I know - but with this I DID know. And even if they let me, it does mark your card rather. Perhaps I’m being a bit silly but it is a worry for me at the moment.

I’m planning on having the Harmony test @spare123 , given my age, but the first scan is obviously important. What I’m asking is if delaying the booking in appointment with midwife delays the first scan.
