Have you used an Ergo carrier when pregnant and if so did you find it comfortable? How far on were you able to use it and was it better carrying toddler on the front or back?
Thank you!!

I didn't use an Ergo, but I used a Manduca which is quite similar. I used it all the way through my pregnancy, wearing my toddler on my back (on the front got impossible after not too long, bump in the way) - actually it was quite nice wearing it because I had the padded waistband under my bump, so the toddler on my back lifted my bump a little so it was quite nicely supported!

Hi Rainbow - I haven't used one but from the research focussed mum's I know it gets very good reviews and so my plan is to get one!

| I have an Ergo, and after it got too hard to front carry (near end of the first trimester) I tried to back carry but I found the pressure of the strap across my tummy too uncomfortable. I haven't tried it lately though - maybe it would be ok if the strap sat under the belly, as the discomfort came as the strap crept up across my small belly, and put pressure on it. |
