My DH was away (deployment) when I was at the same stage as you. Luckily enough he came home a week and a half before my due date to spend a month at home. Bubs was born on his due date (induced so DH would be there) and DH was off again 10 days later. If it was an option he wouldn't have gone anywhere. As it was, I was greatful to have him at home for the amount of time I did. My parents were on one side of the country and I was on the other.
While he was away I stressed and fretted over every little twinge, kick, unintended bladder leak etc... To make matters worse my OB went on holidays (to Singapore of all places!!) and returned the day before bubs was due.
Tell him how you really feel and give him a chance. If how you really feel is, "honey I would rather you be at home" then tell him and let him make up his mind.
It sucks being on your own as your due date gets closer.
