Did not want to be with me during childbirth

When my labor pains started, my husband panicked and said, 'I'll wait in the other room; if something happens to you, the doctors will be with you.' At that moment, I felt both hurt and angry, but I couldn't say anything. At such an important time like childbirth, my husband doesn't even have the courage to stay by my side. Is this normal? Am I thinking wrong? I don't know.
