My 2 year old weighs about the same and still likes to be carried around sometimes. I haven't had any problems carrying her and I'm 28 weeks. Last week I was pretty fatigued due to being anemic and if she wanted to be held I would just sit with her. But I'm starting to feel better now and have been able to carry her more. Listen to your body and only do what you feel comfortable with. Also, get advice from your doctor at your next visit!

I babysit and live with my nephew he is three and weighs forty five pounds my doctor told me as long as it doesn't make my tummy tight around my hip bones than i will be fine so as long as it doesn't strain those muscles i don't see why you can't but also maybe consider teaching her you can't carry her some of those times i explain to my nephew it will hurt the baby

That's what my friend did with her nephew who was 2 at the time. He didn't like it one bit, but he stopped having her carry him

I personally would explain it to her, see if you can get her to somehow understand
