Challenge! Heavy 6 month old + preg + c/s scar. What back carrier?

Just found out that I'm pregnant. I was already looking for a back carrier or back pack because DD is almost 10 kilos and too heavy for front carrying. But now that I got the happy (albeit shocking) news of the next baby coming, I think that a carrier that somehow presses on the scar of last c/s wouldn't be suitable... What do you say? Thanks!

Yes, a wrap or a MT that you can tie wherever is most comfortable is the way to go. There are some pictures of wearing while pregnant (mostly wraps) here, if you want inspiration!

Thanks Loopymumsy and Puddock I'm warming yo the idea of the wrap instead of a framed backcarrier. It's only that I'm afraid I might be rubbish at learning to tie it and it might take ages everytime
I loved the pictures! I have to see if all this MT are the same or there are some easier to put on.

Ohhh it's like entering the world of fabric nappies for the first time. Then I need to do a little research to see what particular variations are best for us. What do you think of the wilkinet?

Then def. the Wilkinet is not for me. I couldn't find a meeting nearby I'll have to find a model and just buy it. You are doing a very good job at converting me I'd like to get it second hand, from here or Ebay...

Thanks. I'm completely converted! The MT is the way fwd. I saw a video and it doesn't look too difficult after all. I suscribed to the UKBabywearingswap group, awaiting approval. I´ll check now the other one. It´s midnight and I´m still here , too enthusiastic!
