    I don't have any suggestions regarding a sling for a bubba that heavy, but I did want to say how much I love your ticker. That photo is GORGEOUS!!!

    We have an Ergo which is great for carrying my 12kg bubba around, can barely even feel she's in there, although front carry does pull a bit when I am trying to do things, if I am being active it's back carry, if I'm just running into kindy it's front carry.

    Not sure what a Bubba Moe is but I'm not sure how an Ergo wouldgo with a preggie belly as the hip/waist strap is what keeps bub in so it def needs to be donw up and carries most of the weight. I find with my post baby belly (yes still) I end up looking a bit like a pork roast if I'm not careful.

    Do you know anyone nearby that has one that you can try? I'd offer to send you one of ours to try but they cost a fortune to send :-)

    My sister has the bubba moe - which is where I found that it might be great for mine, but she has a 2 year old, and about to have another bub in about 16 days!!! So I think she'll be using it for a while

    I love my Ergo but looking at the bubba moe I think it would be more suitable with a pg belly. I wear the Ergo right around my middle and I just don't see how the back carry would work with a pg belly comfortably, you can wear the ergo around your hips but I don't find it as comfortable.

    Does your sister carry her 2yo in the bubbamoe? How does she find it distributes the weight? The ergo is excellent for making heavy weights feel like light weights but it's not going to be much use to you if you can't wear it for the next 20wks :-)
