When I was pregnant with #2, dh lived 2.5 hours away...we were selling our house in one city and my caregivers were there...and he got a new job in the new city. I WAS alone when I went into labor, but I had a really close friend nearby in my neighborhood and she came over. I called my mom, and I called Dh...who didn't leave until after Survivor was over (before tivo LOL) and he actually ended up missing the birth because it was so fast. The labor itself was 4 hours- he left at a little after 9 pm and A was born at 10:40 pm. We all had no idea it would go so fast! I forgave him...he didn't know and I think he felt guilty enough LOL But it was fine... I actually had ALL women around me with that birth and it was the easiest! I didn't want it that way- of course I wanted him there but it was ok. I just had to do what I needed to do, with or without him.

I bet it will all work out...try not to stress about it. Hopefully he won't miss anything, like if you go into labor but if you do, he can leave whatever he needs to do...and be with you.
