Even Serena Williams, one of the more high-profile working moms, can't escape the nail-biting anxiety that comes for parents when they fly with small children.

Williams, 36, who makes her return to the US Open on Monday for the first time since having daughter Olympia, had her own harrowing adventure that is flying with babies.


Using the hashtag #ThisMama, Williams took to Twitter to recall flying with her 11-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

"The other day on a flight home Olympia insisted on running up and down the aisle and when I finally got her to sit still, she threw up all over me," Williams tweeted.

As Williams prepared to go back to work, she asked for a little support from fellow moms and dads. Using the hashtag, #ThisMama, Williams requested more humbling tales of parenthood. // <\/s'+'cript>'); // --> //]]> From ICE
