    I still carry my 2yo much of the time, but that's my choice most of the time. When DD was this old I was pregnant and was conditioning her not to be lifted so much. I had to sit on the lounge and her climb up if she wanted a cuddle, stuff like that. She had to transition to showers or if she wanted a bath I had to wait for DH to be home.

    I will have to do that same should I be graced with another due to a rupture last time.

    I still carry DD2 a lot! She loves to be carried and be on me a lot. I lift her into the car seat, the trolley, swings, monkey bars etc. She is going through a clingy phase at the moment too so she likes Mummy lifting her.

    I still carry my 3 year old very often! lol
    So yep, I carried her a lot at 2, even throughout the pregnancy...(No SPD thankfully) Even now, I would carry her more I think if I didn't have bubs to carry.
    Having said that, it isn't necessarily carry, more lift, more often. Like, onto chairs, car, trolley, in and out of bed sometimes, bath etc. She is very independent though, and has always been, so I think that I could have not carried her as much if I had the need not to, like you do when pregnant, itms.

    Good luck! x
