I have about 40 pounds to lose and…

Babywearing + HRM?
I've posted this question in a few places, but I'm really hoping someone here might be able to help. Has anyone managed to use a heart rate monitor while babywearing?

Ready To Lose This Baby Weight!
Well I guess it is baby weight. I was knocked off working out for the majority of my pregnancy due to a seperated pelvis and a LOT of pain.
