Husband at all day meeting 2 days before planned section

[MrsSamR]

So my husband just informed me that an all-day meeting at his work has been moved to 2 days before my planned c-section is booked in. He will have to be in London and we live Wiltshire which is also where the hospital I am going to give birth in is. Given my first DD arrived 3 days before the date of her planned section this feels too risky to me! If I go into labour and need to get to the hospital I will have no one to take me and it could mean having to give birth alone! His argument is that he has to be at the meeting and can't put his life on hold 'in case' I go into labour but given he will be going on paternity leave for 4 weeks 2 days after the meeting how important can it be that he is there?! Please tell me I'm not being unreasonable to ask him to tell them he can't be there!

I get you are worried but he is right.

Have you told him you're worried, and asked for reassurance that is you do go into labour he'll not attend the meetings and be with you.

I've just told him that I did an AIBU on Mumsnet and the Mums have spoken! He's happy to assess nearer the time and let his colleagues know the proximity to my due date so fingers crossed we're not unlucky and it doesn't fall on that day!
