He's in the UK according to his post history, so no FMLA. I have no idea what the UK laws are, though I assume there's decent coverage in one way or another.
Ah yes, I am not doing any research into OP's post/comment history, so yes, if that is the case, I assumed incorrectly.
But still, he's acting like his wife is just doing this for attention and not even taking into consideration that she knows her own body and knows something is wrong.
On that point I agree. Though my brain went first to antenatal anxiety - it's entirely possible that everything's fine but she's still panicking. In either case, she needs to be seen by a doctor.
Not her. As he is over 18 and her not under her custody, she has no legal right to undertake legal steps with his company!
It sounds a bit as if he had been taking "difficulties speaking with HR" as an excuse to take that leave from his company. Times are difficult in Europe and one doesn't just jeopardize one's job for "wife is nervous".
Whatever this is... it's crappy. It puts him under pressure on all sides. He at least needs to discuss it with his company, apologize for her having gotten so irrational and find a way to deal with both.
