Upset with hubby

FTM here and was upset when hubby prioritise work over bb due date where it clashes with the month of his project contract start date at work. As a result he might not be available for me and during the period/month that bb is born. Worried to be alone in the hospital and also taking care of bb myself with CL. I think worse is he prioritise work over bb as I tried to ask him to delay the start of the project with his boss but he kept standing at his boss viewpoint. Maybe its preg hormones but just feel sad that it seems he feels work > bb. 😥 how does similar mum cope with this.

This sounds like a major project and his bonus probably hinges on this. With a baby, increased expenditures and an ongoing pandemic, he will be worried about doing better at his career and not chalking up any black marks with his boss. If it were me I will try to be understanding and trust that his heart is in the right place and this simply is for the best. I feel that as we're partners in the marriage, we should support one another's careers and goals if we can; if it's possible for me to take care of myself, I do not want my husband to have to drop his work responsibilities and goals for me. I'm sure his heart is hurting too that he might have to miss out on the early days with the baby. Has he arranged for emergency contacts and help for you, and can he start later/leave earlier from work as long as it doesn't impact the project schedule?
