Work rights

I left work this morning for an emergency midwife appointment as i couldnt feel my baby move, i was then referred to hospital for a physiotherapy class after the babies heartbeat was heard and my manager says that i would have to take it as a sick day? Am i right in thinking that this day would be paid for as it is preganncy related?

i know that my company allows you time off for appointments during your pregnancy and this would count as that. I would definitely check with HR. In UK im pretty sure they have to give you time off for antenatal appointments but double check.

I think u have to take it as a sick day or vacation. Def. Check with hr. Every company has different policies

My sick days are paid but think i may have used them, my work only give 6 days in a rolling year.

If your sick days are paid. It varies from place to place, so I'd call your Human Resources office and ask.
