Babywearing While Pregnant

Yes, it really is possible to wear one child while pregant with another! Early on in your pregnancy, you will find most any carrier comfortable for you. As your belly grows, however, you will find that front and hip carries may be uncomfortable.

**Please note that the following recommendations are based on our personal experiences and those of other babywearers we know. They are not meant to substitute for the advice of your healthcare practitioner. Please consult your healthcare practitioner before babywearing while pregnant to discuss any safety concerns.**

Wraps, Mei Tais, and Buckle Carriers top our list for babywearing while pregnant. All are adjustable and can be tied above or below your belly (which you will find most comfortable is a personal preference).

Wraps are very versatile and can even be tied so that you don't have any fabric around your waist at all!

Mei tais are likewise versatile and can be tied in a variety of ways so that you can find a comfortable one for you, including ties above your breasts, directly below your breasts and under your waist.

Buckle carriers are somewhat less versatile (most people choose to fasten them below the belly), but they do offer ease of use. The ERGO also has a padded waist belt and move much of your child's weight to your hips, which many people find very comfortable while pregnant.
