So say I usually have Thu off
Wednesday is the day the midwife is at my drs
so all appoints on wed
work asked me to swap my day off from Thu to wed
so that I can go in my day off but I’ve been really sick and knackered and don’t want to spend half my day off dealing with that

Why wouldn't you help your employer out by doing this? Maternity appointments aren't every week and certainly don't take a half a day.
You're coming across as inflexible and hard work, life is about give and take.

Yes she has a legal right. But why inconvenience your employer and colleagues for the sake of it? Why be awkward? Employers aren't the enemy and cultivating their good will is worth doing as a working mother

I'm not sure this is legal. Maternity rights are protected.
Perhaps you have commitments on a Thursday that you cannot change....

She isn’t being awkward, have you any idea how difficult it is to get and reschedule midwife appointments?

But she's not being asked to reschedule. Her employer has asked if she could change her non-working day to the day of the appointments
