Laura Anderson takes her daughter on her first flight just four weeks after giving birth

Flying high

Reality TV star Laura Anderson, known for her appearance on Love Island, has taken her daughter on her first flight just four weeks after giving birth. The 34-year-old flew from Scotland to London and kept fans updated throughout the journey. Sharing a photo at the airport, Laura expressed her nerves about the flight: "B's first flight. Wish me luck." After landing, she posted a picture of her baby Bonnie asleep on her lap and said they had "survived slash thrived".

A difficult birth

Laura shared her experience of giving birth last month, revealing that she had a difficult and scary experience. She suffered a second degree tear and required stitches, but then had a severe haemorrhage five hours later. Laura lost 1.6 litres of blood during this emergency. Despite the frightening situation, she remained calm and credited the medical team for their quick response. "I just stayed calm because I thought I've got everybody around me that needs to be here doing everything they can," she said.

Co-parenting with Gary Lucy

Laura recently opened up about her relationship status with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy, with whom she shares her daughter Bonnie. The couple broke up while Laura was pregnant, but have agreed to co-parent. They initially met on the reality TV show Celebs Go Dating and went public with their relationship shortly before announcing their pregnancy. Although they endured a bitter break-up, Gary recently "confirmed" their reunion with a heartfelt tribute.

Surviving and thriving

Despite facing challenges, Laura is embracing her new role as a first-time mum and sharing her journey on social media. Flying with her daughter so soon after giving birth is just one example of how she is navigating this new chapter in her life.
