That's horrible. I hope he has done some amazing stuff to make up for that! If you are still together, I mean.
With DD1, DH stayed the first 2 nights. Didn't get much sleep. Then we went home for 2 nights and realized she was severely jaundiced and had to go back in for 3 more nights. By then the IL's had arrived so the first night MIL stayed with me, and by then I was okay for them to go after dinner and come in the morning.
With DS I had a very easy delivery with no complications. I told DH to go home for the night and come get me in the morning (left at the 24 hour mark).
With DD2 She was also born in the morning, a bit earlier than expected so the IL's hadn't yet arrived to stay with the other 2. We had a friend come over at 3 am, I delivered at 7 so the friend dropped both kids at school and DH picked them up in the afternoon from school. He even took DD1 to dance because I didn't want her to miss it! Then he brought them over for dinner and to meet baby sister.
The next day he dropped the kids at school, picked up the IL's at the airport, and then dropped MIL to come stay with me until I was discharged midday. Then I drove myself, MIL, and DD2 home from the hospital .
If I'd felt it was necessary he would have stayed with me but I didn't see the point in both of us getting crappy sleep and being bored. So I sent him home.
