A wrap is usually just a long piece of fabric. It can be tied in many ways but some moms, especially new to the carrier business, flinch from them, because they do require some practice.
This one though has leg holes which make it a little easier to wear. A lovely idea!
Babywearing while Pregnant?

Oh Yes! It is possible.
Like every other aspect of babywearing, carrying your toddler during pregnancy is a very individual choice. Some women can’t take the risk of carrying a big toddler, others may feel way too tired. However, for those women who can and want to continue carrying their children through their pregnancy, it is absolutely possible.
How do you select a carrier for a pregnant lady? Some women don’t mind pressure on the pelvis and would go on using their soft backpack with the waist strap tied very low under the belly. Others may prefer a Mei tai or a Podegi, tied very high, with no pressure at all on the belly. Another great option is a sling, again leaving the belly nice and free from pressure.
I do recommend being very attentive to your body during pregnancy- it is essential, whether you use a carrier or not- and not strain yourself too much. I wouldn’t use the carrier if it creates any discomfort.
