anyone else experience this?

I’m a FTM and i’m 37 weeks pregnant. My baby’s father won’t be able to be AT the birth because his work is very very strict, but honestly it’s fine because i don’t want to be stressed out or worried about being mean to him because cause i’ll be in so much pain from labor and also i kind of just want my mom in the room with me. but he will be able to come right after the birth and see the baby. i’m just wondering if anyone else’s SO or baby’s father wasn’t present for the birth but came soon after? and did that have an affect on the connection they had with their baby?? i am scared that him not being able to witness the birth will maybe take away that “wow that’s my son” feeling?? idk :/
