Baby carriers/slings for plus size mums

Hi all

Looking for recommendations for baby carrier/sling. I am a size 16 pre pregnancy so am a little worried that they may not fit.
I especially like the fabric stretchy ones for newborns.
I was looking at the moby wrap but unsure if it will fit?
Any experience/recommendations welcome

You'll be fine. I'm size 22 and wore stretchy wraps and connecta slings (now Integra). Don't even let it worry you.

I am not sure I would consider size 16 to be a plus size? I am now post baby size 14/16 and have had no issue with baby Bjorn.

My partner who wears size XL shirts has also been able to wear them too.

Stretchy wraps will definitely fit! I’ve got a Boba for my newborn.
I have an Ergobaby 360 omni which worked when DD was a bit bigger. I was a 14-16 pre-pregnancy and it fits fine.

Close Kaboo user here, was about a 16 when I had DD and found it great, fit fine!

Ergo embrace here - and was a good size 20 after DD was born. I had at least double the waist strap to let out still?? You'll be fine!!!

I had a Kari-me. I was probably a size 16 to 18 when used it.

Thanks so much everyone! I have an irrational fear that it won't fit and I'll be mortified!
My sister is buying it for me so I wanted to make sure it would work!

Thanks again xx

I'm a 22 prepregnancy and had the same concerns. A few of my friends recommended ergo baby as they loved it. I tried it on at 28 weeks pregnant in the shop last weekend and to my shock it fit perfectly. Super comfy too. Would definitely recommend.
