If you&#8217;re going to hold your older baby in your arms anyway while you&#8217;re pregnant, then a sling will make everything easier! You do, though, need to make sure that your pregnancy has no complications and that you don&#8217;t have any serious health problems in general. Don&#8217;t carry your baby if your doctor&#8217;s general instructions are not to lift any weight at all and not to hold your child in your arms.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Personal note:<\/strong> As I write these lines I&#8217;m already 7 months pregnant and my Vasilis weighs 15 kilos! I still carry him, every day and for quite a while!
