33+3 weeks pregnant, high risk and my husband has just left me

I am 33+3 weeks pregnant. I'm currently in hospital as my waters went at 32+1 weeks. I stood up to make some tea and I was suddenly soaked, and I convinced my husband to take me into triage as something felt off. I was admitted and I am being monitored daily. Currently baby boy is showing no signs of distress, and there aren't any signs of infection so they're hopeful we can make it to 35 weeks.

My husband has been working still, and coming to visit me in the mornings and evenings. He hasn't been overly happy about it, but he's been coming. In terms of day time my mum, sisters and friends have been taking it in turns to come and see me, and last weekend my mum brought a nice lunch for us to have together.

Last night my husband came and was pretty angry, he was saying he didn't have time for this anymore and he was saying he couldn't keep doing this.

Then out of nowhere he said he'd be packing his things and leaving the house. He told me he wouldn't be there any didn't want to hear when the baby came, because he didn't care. I feel completely blindsided, things were great before I went into hospital and we were really looking forward to our baby boy's arrival.

I have no idea what to do now. I can't face getting a lawyer, and I don't feel like I can talk to anyone because I will just break down and disturb the other women on the ward.

Just posting to vent really, as I feel so alone and broken

That’s a good weight considering he is early. And you choose a name that you love! Enjoy your beautiful little boy and don’t give your ex a second thought. His loss.

4.1lb is on the smaller side for a nearly 34 weeker.

Congratulations on your tiny, precious boy. I am so sorry for what youre going through. My partner left me and our baby in fairly similar (completely out of the blue, barely any contact since) circumstances, I am here if you ever need anyone to talk to, I have a baby boy too x

Baby gets your maiden name i reckon
