Anxiety slowly escalating

So I'm not sure I really have anything to ask, I just am feeling anxious and I'm not sure how to deal with it right now. I usually talk to my husband, but it's partly him I'm worrying about.
I'm now full term so will have a baby anytime in the next 3 weeks. I'm trying really hard not to stress about the birth. Hubby is having health issues and has been told if he degenerates at all he's to go straight to the ER. He's seen the GP who has given a referral but he won't be seen for probably a few months.
Meanwhile our toddler is happy as anything but we've just agreed she will stay with my parents during the labour. She's never had time away from us and hasn't spent much time with her grandparents, so I'm concerned she won't cope. I trust my parents will take good care of her, my husband is uncomfortable because he doesn't trust his mother and I think is projecting that onto my parents. But what option do we have?? There's really no one else who could take her. But I'm sorry he feels that way, and it's weighing on my mind.
I spent Thursday in hospital being monitored for pre-eclampsia, but I honestly believe most of my symptoms are anxiety related. Blood pressure, headache, nausea...
So, as I started with, I'm not really sure what I'm asking, I guess it's just about sharing where I'm at.

Thank you Hope for the best,
It would have been ideal to do that, but unfortunately that's been outside my control. My parents work full time and my husband has his own demons to grapple with, so he doesn't want to leave her without one of us until she can talk. Even spending time with my parents with us there hasn't worked out due to challanging history. Now with so little time left, it's just not going to happen.
Its so good that your grandparents could step in and play such an active role in your raising. My father has shown a distinct lack of interest in my husband and daughter. Even when they could have played an active role they've specifically chosen to spend time elsewhere. I would have loved for my daughter to have involved grandparents, but it's been their choice to keep their distance.
