Anyone still babywearing?

Hi ladies, lurking from 1st tri. I currently wear DD in an action baby carrier everywhere we go. I can do a front or back carry. But I'm guessing babywearing with a big bump might not be comfortable if even doable. Are any of you still able to wear your LO? Do you think it's doable throughout the pregnancy or should I invest in a stroller?

    I still wear L from time to time in a ring sling. Usually side/hip carry, or front works too, he kind of sits on the bump. It's still comfortable as far as wearing goes, but not comfortable at the same time because he is 23 lbs and I'm out of breath just sitting around, let alone hauling him and the bump. I'm definitely using the stroller more, but wearing is still doable.

    Nope. I didn't wear DD2 very often anymore, but I had to retire the mei tai when I started showing - at a whopping 11 weeks. Now at 19 weeks I'm already getting Braxton Hicks and they're worse after I carry her too much/too long, and she's only 24lbs soaking wet, I can't imagine wearing her would be good for that.

    I cannot wear him on my front anymore.  We have a manduca and around 15 weeks it became uncomfortable for me to wear him on the front.  I can still wear him on my back with the belt under my bump.  The belt can be a bit uncomfortable on my bladder and I feel like I have to pee constantly. DH can wear him when we're together and that's my preference.

    33 weeks and way to big & uncomfortable to wear my 15 month old. It's getting harder and harder to lift & carry her for day to day activities.

    Absolutely! My little girl is 21 months. I cannot function without baby wearing. Grocery stores she is always on my back. Oh I'm 29 weeks. I wore her on my front a few weeks ago. I see no difference in plain carrying other than a baby carrier is so much easier and frankly more comfortable. Listen to your body but as long as you plan to pick up your LO I sure baby wearing will be fine. I also see a chiropractor weekly or no weekly I keep me in good shape.
