My wife and I had IUI treatment a couple of weeks ago. We have found out we are pregnant and were told by the fertility clinic to come in for a scan at 6 1/2 weeks, hopefully to hear a heartbeat.
I know that normally my wife would be entitled to paid time off work for antenatal appointments but would this scan be included as it’s not the antenatal department?
We have a letter of proof although it just says fertility follow up scan.
My wife is worried she won’t be able to get the time off (either paid or unpaid) is this right??
Thank you for any advice!!

I think it should be OK as it’s pregnancy-related. Congrats and best of luck!

yes it is pregnancy related and it states that ‘any time off for antenatal appoimtments/classes/pregnancy related issues must be paid and cannot be refused’ in my employee rights and i work in the UK so check what hers says
– they even had to pay me to go to birthing classes once a week during work hours lol

By law they have to give you the time off for antenatal and any other appointments due to pregnancy. I’m 21 weeks pregnant and i get all the time off i need even if its just a visit to my midwife for a check up. Make sure your wife sees her line manage and explains everything they should help.
Hope every thing goes well
