September is NICU Awareness Month. Surviving the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is no easy task, but it is possible. I’m Briana, the owner of Birth and Beyond and I am here to tell you my NICU survival story. I planned a homebirth in late 2021 for my February 2022 estimated due date. I ate all the good foods, I exercised, I chose a good provider, and I remained stress free in the middle of a global pandemic.
