Missing the birth and delivery because of work?
So i'm a few days shy of 30 weeks pregnant and a while ago my hubby and i were discussing our plans for labor and delivery and he mentions that he might not be there during my labor because of his work schedule and he also talked like he might not be able to be at the birth depending on the time and what not and definitely won't be able to stay after the birth for too long you know because of work. My first reactions was to break down in tears, as i expected that wouldn't be an issue, and then while we were discussing all of the whys i got really mad because i felt like he was putting work in front of a really special important time of our lives. Have any of you been through this or going through it? I just need some encouragement. I don't know if i can go through labor without him, last time it was awful and i needed his support and i feel like i need him there this time too. By the way his work is being a manager for a sandwich restaurant, which i'm proud of him but i feel in this case family comes before work. HELP!
