Can they kick him out?

So I’m due any day now and I really want to labor alone during the beginning without any stress. The father of the child (we aren’t together anymore) says he wants to be there for me the entire time. This is our fourth child and the last three times he made it really stressful and wouldn’t help me when I needed help from him and slept the rest of the time. He even started arguments with me while I was in labor with our last two.

This labor is going to be a bit more painful than my past ones as I have an injury in my hip/groin area and I really do great by myself when I’m in pain. Also my hospital doesn’t allow anyone else in until you’re admitted and classified as active labor.

He says he understands that I want to be alone while laboring and I said it’s not like he can’t come I just want to get through most of the pain by myself without the stress of others. But what I’m curious about is if he is there and is causing me issues and trying to argue or stressing me out can I ask the hospital to escort him out?
