Final weeks- DH argument

Hi
I’m at a bit of a loss. When I met my husband 8 years ago we always said we would like 3 children together (he already had 2). Anyway we settled on 2 by the time we had our first.
I’m 37 weeks with our second.

We have done nothing but argue.
During a heated spat he said he regretted having the baby.
Now we all say things we don’t mean but I can’t shake this...
he said we can’t cope with the one we have

Not sure what was meant by that either as he works 14 hour days and I do everything (and cope fine without any help- which he usually praises).

I’ve told him I’m upset and hurt by what he said and that ended up in an argument again.

I don’t really want him at the birth on these terms. I don’t feel I can trust him (to be my comfort) during labour.
I can’t trust him at all how to be honest.
I feel really let down.

How do we even move on from this?

I agree. I'm 37 weeks, last week DH told me he wasn't sure he wanted to have children and questioned our decision to have a baby as he's not sure it's what he wants. I was broken by his comments and had visions of being left holding the baby. A few days later he was fine.

Gosh it’s just horrible isn’t it.

I did feel like saying what on earth do you want me to do about anything now? It’s not really the time for a panic is it.
How did you move on and forget the words?

Congrats by the way!

Panic over what? Adding to the responsibility list? This would be his fourth child so you’d think he would have the hang of it all now
