Dads are entitled to a certain amount of time off for ante natal appointments. Not sure how much though.

The above link will give the management booklet for the revised Special leave which is undergoing a name change to " OTHER TIME OFF " basically split into 3 categories DOMESTIC, PERSONAL and FAMILY.
In your described circumstances would be several options of giving the time off back at a later date that suits you manager, unpaid leave or using your holiday entitlement this obviously would depend on the type of manager that you have.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
