I think u should call him once when your sure baby is on its way/induced whatever the situation but at least allow him the opportunity to show up...if he doesn't that's on him but at least give him the chance
Added stress makes labour harder and longer, and can cause complications. I would say tell him at the beginning of labour, but if his presence makes it harder, calmly explain you don't feel him being there will help. In my opinion.
If he has expressed before that he wanted to be there, I think you should at least let him know and if he comes then great if not then his loss and don't worry about it It's your call. If he starts causing you stress while you're in labor you can tell hospital staff and they might make him leave or at least wait in the waiting room. Hopefully he'll surprise you and be a good bd!
Who knows, maybe the event of baby coming into the world will actually diffuse any disagreements of the moment and all can enjoy such a great experience and blessing of baby being born. If however, he comes and starts creating stress and drama, you can let your nurses know if he is no longer welcome and should kick him out for you. Just remember, your medical team is your advocate, not his. Good luck!
Does he want to be there? I say its kinda lame to exclude him if he wants to be there. But you don't need extra stress during labor he could even wait in the waiting room til its time to push. I know I love my husband and we are good but while I was in labor he annoyed me so bad.
