Early days with my second pregnancy. After my first I went back four days a week and now have Fridays off to look after my little boy.
I haven't told work yet and won’t until the new year, but due to complications I will need extra appointments and scans this time round. I know my manager will expect me to book as many as possible on Fridays when I’m already off but I would rather not be taking my two year old to all these appointments. Would I be unreasonable to book them during work hours? I tried to go to the dentist on my lunch break a few months ago and my manager gave me a long lecture about not attending appointments on work days so a bit anxious about all the appointments I will have coming up. I know I’m legally entitled to paid time off for these appointments but is it bad form?
