You shouldn't, especially for the first year. Most new parents naturally fall into the parenting role and their priorities change once a baby enters the picture. It sounds as though he isn't one of those people. I think you should talk to him sooner than later and let him know when you both decided to have a baby, that you did not take it lightly and knew that your life would change with such a huge responsibility, but you really thought it would be a family effort not feeling like a single mom while he's out doing his own thing.
