MVA today / partner is making me anxious

I'm having an MVA today after a diagnosed missed miscarriage. These past couple of days my partner has been very understanding and supportive, to the extent that I have been impressed with his strength.
Today, though, even though he is still trying, he seems a bit short with me. Almost as if he resents the attention and focus he has to give, and somehow feels like he's not getting any. There's tension between us, as he snapped at me a couple of times (justly or unjustly that's debatable) and I am resenting him for it, because I have an MVA scheduled in two hours and my anxiety has shot up. I have managed to remain calm since the diagnose and throughout this whole process and was hoping to take that calmness into the procedure, but I am now getting more and more worked up, and I don't know how to calm myself down. He is meeting me at the hospital before the procedure, as I needed to come into work for a bit. Don't know what to do.

Hi OP, I hope the procedure went well today. I had a missed miscarriage very recently as well so sending you all of my love and support ❤️ could your partner being short with you perhaps have been anxiety around the procedure? Only saying that as mine was incredibly anxious when I had my surgery but was amazing afterwards once he knew I was okay
