Before the due date, Jimmy and Nia had already visited North Mountain Medical Center to tour and learn about the delivery facilities and procedures. Nia underwent a complete examination, including checking the baby's heart rate, then it was just a matter of waiting.
During Nia's check-up, Jimmy also attended a special medical training session. North Mountain Medical Center encourages husbands to participate during their wives' childbirth. This practice mainly provides emotional support to the soon-to-be parents, but he must be trained by the hospital and reminded of various key stages about what he can and cannot do. Only after the training doctors confirmed that Jimmy understood these, could he accompany the childbirth.
As a completely inexperienced prospective father, Jimmy certainly adhered strictly to medical advice, and the training outcome was very good.
