hi lolpigs - we use cloth and really glad we made the effort. I have 3 BG nappies. we've got 2 pocket nappies with the velcro-sort close and one AIO with the same velcro stuff.
I have found the velcro hasn't aged well despite following the care instructions when washing etc. if i was buying more i'd get the snappy shut ones as DS can now easily open the nappies himself.... and the velcro has sort of curled so it catches very easily when he's playing... even when he's got pants over the top.

I do like them but we don't use them at night cos they don't handle our sons pee well, even with the booster. And I have found they weren't great at containing pee when he was smaller ... he is very long and thin. I think his legs were just too thin to get a good fit iykwim.

I wouldn't rate them as the best nappy in my collection, especially for the price but they've served their purpose.

I had bought a couple of babybeehinds and they were a terrible fit for DS so we sold them after only about 6 uses.
Recently we got a Sandman's night nappy 2nd hand from a BB member and it works great for overnight.
I also use Organic Bugalugs pocket nappies and they work well but I really don't like the style of the boosters etc They are very similar to BG tho but have a sort of gutter around the leg. but still don't fit fantastically around our DS's legs.
We've also got 2 MOtherease nappies - the sort that need a cover as well - one is a Sandy's nappie and fitted him really really well as a bub, espeically aroundn the legs.. and the other is a one size bamboo one. I really like both of these nappies and they weren't overly $$$
Generally tho, we have found that terry squares with a liner and a cover over the top really works the best for us. and is a lot cheaper than mcns.

I'm not sure if any of that helps you but hope it does! Congratulations on your pregnancy
