WWYD - new baby and DSS

(Already put in Stepparenting but wanted more chance of a response)
Baby was due 17/01 so is now running late! We usually have DSS every other weekend, but have already swapped a weekend around the due date in case baby came on time. This weekend is not our w/e with DSS but the following weekend is. I have now been given the Thursday as the date for induction if it hasn;t happened by then. This will mean that I would have the baby on Thurs/Fri (all being well), but then OH will have 10 year old DSS that w/e. I would obviously like OH to be at hospital with me as much as possible that weekend (I plan to stay in for a couple of days at least)but don't know how to factor it DSS? Again - this all hypothetical as baby may come of her own accord before then (although still a bit ? about having DSS to stay for the whole weekend when we have a newborn to cope with?!) This is my first obviously, so may be a bit PFB and worrying for nothing. WWYD?

I would plan some back up care for him. If all goes fine and you are home at the weekend, it might be a chance for you all to bond together.
If you end up having a CS or stay in hospital a little longer, it might be difficult to arrange last minute care.
Could your OH's ex be on stand by, or grandparents?
