Wedding rings

iwalktheline · October 2013

Did you ladies get to a point where you had to take off your wedding rings because they got too tight? How far along were you? I think i have to officially retire my engagement ring. My wedding band is ~1/2 a size bigger, so that one's still holding on. I'm really kind of bummed about it though

I'm down to only my band and have been for a few weeks.

Yep. It was later in the third tri. I started to get swelling at 34 weeks and around 36 I stopped wearing my rings.

Around 35 weeks I had to take my rings off. It was awhile after M was born that I could get them back on.

I haven't worn mine since the end of first tri

I think I was around 32 or 34 weeks when I stopped wearing mine.

Both times it's been about 4/5 months. I miss them

( But I just wear a silver band on that finger. Apparently, people get judgey if they see a pregnant lady without a ring on "that" finger. Really? Lame.

My wedding band is smaller than my engagement ring so I had to stop wearing that one on my ring finger and put it on my pinkie finger instead. Swelling at the end was a lot worse with Zack than with Delilah since he was born in summer as opposed to winter like his sis, so I switched it a lot sooner. It also took a month or so before I could get them back on after delivery even though my weight was less, swelling was still an issue.

It was right after my shower, so I think about 32 weeks (?).

I am dreading this. At almost 19 weeks they are getting tighter, but it also might be the warm weather we are still having. I hope to get away with it for as long as possible since we are heading into winter.

If not, I'll buy a band in a 1/2 size-size bigger from kohls or something and just wear that. I really don't want to not wear anything at all. I figure something like this would be fine. http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-193706/sterling-silver-clear-crystal-eternity-band-ring.jsp

My RH fingers are bigger than my LH, so I can turn it into a RH ring after.

Yup. I had to ditch my e-ring about halfway through 3rd tri, I think. My wedding band made it until a few weeks before the end. Actually the first thing I had to quit wearing was my watch because my wrists were swollen. I wore my rings on a chain around my neck once they didn't fit. It was about a month or so after he was born (I can't really remember because I don't wear my rings at home anyway and I wasn't going anywhere) before I could get them on comfortably.

My engagement ring has been off for quite some time. My wedding band has stayed off for at least 2 months...I decided after a 5-minute battle involving cold water and ice to get it off that it wasn't going back on.

I thought about getting a cheap band to wear in its place, but figured if people think I'm a single mom and want to judge me for it, they can go right ahead. IDGAF. Clearly they suck anyway if they are that judgmental.

I do miss having something pretty on my finger though.

Fairly early with DS, but when you gain 50 lbs that's going to happen.

I'm still wearing my rings now at almost 26 weeks and I hope to wear them for a while.

My engagement ring still fits and my wedding band has been a hit or miss since the end of the 1st tri. My hands aren't always swollen so I can still put them both on every once in a while.

wiggyslilsis · October 2013

I think I took them off and wore them around my neck around Christmas so like 25 weeks. I had swelling in my hands way worse than my feet ever did.

I have the tiniest fingers. My wedding band/engagement ring are a 3 1/4 by 36 weeks a size seven was a little snug. It took over a year for my rings to fit again but my DH bought me a size 4 engagement ring that I wore in the meantime.
