Your Thoughts: long rant

Should I allow the father to come with me when I go in labor? We aren't together and he hasn't been here for me this entire pregnancy. I'm 35 weeks and I never hear from him unless he's bored. He hasn't been to any doctors appointment even when I was in and out of the ER in the first trimester I was alone. He hasn't helped get anything needed for the baby and he doesn't help with our son. He showed up at the baby shower acting like the best dad ever but that was just for show and the attention. He never checks to see if we need anything or if I'm ok, I really don't want to include him in the birth of our daughter. I don't care if I am at the hospital alone, I don't want him there. I know he will be showing off like he's this great dad etc. and it's only for show and attention bc soon as I am home with the baby I'll be on my own in this. Should I call him when I go in labor bc I'm really thinking about just calling him after she's born and I am feeling like visitors and telling him she's here. I feel like he doesn't deserve to be there he hasn't been here for any of us this whole time but I don't know if maybe I'm just being bitter.
