Dad's work rights for midwife visits etc...

[mummatotwo]

pregnant women are allowed paid time off for midwife, drs and hospital visits etc.. but what Dad's?

If your husband was to attend every visit, appointment with you are they entitled to paid time off or would they have to take this as holiday etc?

holiday

Holiday, and to be honest, having attended two sets of ante natal class, it was better when the dads didn't go- the conversation flowed much better!

Holiday

For scans it was ok for him to come with me and be paid, any other app's I'm sure he would have to take a holiday but I didn't need/want him to come with me.

Scans he is given paid leave, he doesn't come to MW appointments except the first one where he wants to be a part of it. My consultant appointments are after each scan so he is able to come to those.

Why would the dad want to go to every visit? Scans I can understand, dp changed days off to go.

Antental visits are blimming boring and for a healthy pregnancy a total non-event, and you'll be lucky if you even get anthing by way of a conversation with the midwife.

It usually goes like this over 3 minutes:

MW: Have you brought your wee? Right, pop it there.
MW: Hold your arm out. BP fine. Pop on the bed.
MW: Fine, Bye.
