Nosebleeds in toddlers and flying

My daughter (just turned 3) recently started to suffer from fairly heavy nosebleeds once or twice per week, GP isn't worried and has prescribed Naseptin which, alongside using a humidifier at night, seems to be working so far. We have booked her first flight ticket but I am worried that her freshly healed nasal lining might get aggravated during the flight (cabin pressure + low humidity), potentially causing a heavy nosebleed again, which wouldn't be great as we'd be up in the air. I am now absolutely terrified of going and was wondering if anybody here has had a similar health concern regarding their children and how did the flight go. Any advice welcome! Thanks xx

Not my kids but I used to get this when flying as a kid. Just lots of treats and tissues did the trick for me tbh! 😂

Also very weird advice but a small tampon would be the most absorbent in that situation too.

My brother had an issue with nosebleeds as a child, everything set him off, heat, cold, walking, laying was really odd...he ended up having something done on his nose and no longer has them x

First solo steps 😭🤍

11 months 8 days and she’s just taken her first wobbly solo steps this evening and I’m a wreck 🥹🥹 Everyday she’s doing something new and I love it so much but it also feels like the baby chapter is really coming to an end and she’s definitely, DEFINITELY, our last baby so it all just feels like a lot emotionally. What a privilege to do this journey and experience all these moments! 🥹🤍

Elective C Section

Hi ladies 👋🏻 I'm planning an Elective c section in August on my first. I'm wondering when does this usually get booked in? My parents live in Ireland and want to come over when baby is born to help. So it would be good to have an idea of when it will be!

Natural birth or c section, which did you prefer?

Ladies who have had both a natural delivery and a c section, which did you prefer in the long run? I’ve had a c section and was told I could never deliver naturally, but after a scan last week they now have said that I potentially can deliver naturally if I choose to. I know the section left me crippled for months so I’d love to give natural a shot but it seems terrifying! Let me know your thoughts x
