am i overreacting?? soooo upset

would u b upset with this i am prego with my first ,36 weeks and my dad has informed me that he has booked a holiday 10  hour flight away and will not be back until a few days before my due date. i am absoutley gutted that he would go away when i am due my baby and his first grandchild i could understand if he had booked this before i was prego but he only bookwd last week.  so after venting to my hubby and accepting that he may have to cut short his holiday he told me that he was only wanting me to contact him to let him know if anything had happemes but probably wouldnt ccut short his holiday to come back if i had baby early.  i am sooo upset dont know id this is just hormones but i thought i could have counted on him to be here as he has always let me down growing up. and i dnt have my mum around anymore its her 10 year aniversary just passed in october. am i overreacting i feel like i may be as i know some preg women cant even have there hubbys at the birth. sorry so long just feel like i needed to vent.

I say its a sign first things to comes. I wouldnt get my hopes up for anything  with him, therfore there are less emotions and stress for u and the baby. If he steps it up itll be a pleasant surprise. let him show u who he is and believe him. I had to learn that with my father. Hopes that helps

Bear I mind some dads don't like seeing there little baby's going through pain and my dad would be there but he wouldn't want to see his baby going through contractions and child birth so I can see your point and I can see why he did it so its a hard situation love xxx

Ive told my mum id rather her not come until baby is born, bathed n dressed lol shes crap with blood etc so was very happy that i didnt want her in the room. She gave me a big speech on how it should be just me and my bf with it being our first child.... she was so happy when i laughed and told her i didnt want her with me....
Im sure ur dad probably assumed the same, that u wouldnt want him there til after and men, no matter how many children they have, dont realise that u can give birth at any point after 37 weeks (my mum n dad have 4 kids n i had to explain to dad that just cos her due date is 4th jan doesnt mean she will come then)

Everyone is different .... Something what is not important to one person maybe extremely important to you... My family lives in another country so is my partners... So we just have each other and we are happy :)
