Have a trusted good friend (or your mom from UK) go with you to Hamad. I've heard that as long as you have someone there (female of course), they are OK. I think in your situation that might be your best alternative. The husband can be there in the waiting room, just not in the labor & delivery room. Sorry for your problem. What lousy company does not pay any medical?
Also, how old is the son? If he is 17 and in his senior year, then yes, missing too much school is not advisable. If, however, he is 6, then a couple of weeks won't really matter. You can travel with your newborn when he's about 2 weeks old, although it is not easy. Actually it's mostly not easy on you, small babies tend to sleep very well on airplanes. So you have to decide what is more important to you. Your son starting school on time, or your husband in the delivery room. Good luck to you. may you have a healthy baby.
