I have tried to switch it up but just don't feel as stable, so I have just resigned myself to be "lopsided" in my biceps :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-441078 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:54:41 +0000 lemondrop 441078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right side most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-440962 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:11:32 +0000 prettylizy 440962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Left hip most of the time.

I have no idea if it's true, but it's a sweet thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-440775 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:12:35 +0000 autumnlove 440775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always my left! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-440772 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:11:30 +0000 mediagirl 440772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly the left, but I switch out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-440766 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:09:41 +0000 BelugaBean 440766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to carry her on my left too. I think I do switch sides without thinking sometimes but my back is still sore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-side-do-you-carry-your-lo-on#post-440738 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 09:56:22 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 440738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always seem to carry on my left, but wow, as baby gets heavier (18lbs+), I am starting to notice that I'm sore on that side. Probably need to start lifting weights or switching sides more often.</p> <p>Do you prefer one side over the other? Which one? </p>
