I had my engagement ring resized a bit larger so it would fit on my right hand after the wedding. But I'm 20 pounds heavier than I was on my wedding day, and now it fits on my left hand (my right hand is larger). My wedding band is a little too tight so I don't wear it. Womp womp.
Do your rings still fit?

They are actually looser even tho I have gained weight since my wedding!

Yup! They are a bit tight from pregnancy and it's still warm here and my hands always swell in the heat.

Yes, they fit but I only wear them when I leave the house.

Engagement ring yes. I had that one about 1/2 size bigger when we got engaged on purpose. It was too loose, so we go my wedding band the correct size and I'd wear it on the outside. Later got an anniversary band. I tend to swell easily, so I can wear all 3 individually, or 2 together. But the combination of 3 is unbearable and my wedding band tends to get stuck.

My wedding band didn't after I had my son, but it's weird because I weigh the same. I guess my bones or joints expanded or something?
Anyway it was eternity so I didn't think I'd be able to get it fixed, but my jeweler was able to take some metal out of the center part that touches my finger. So happy I can wear it again!

Yes, and our 5 year anniversary is tomorrow!
I had to take it off when I was pregnant, and I imagine I'll have to pretty soon this time, as well.

Yes. We've been married for five + years, and they still fit the same, with some fluctuations due to temperature. My engagement ring didn't fit during the last trimester of my pregnancies, but my wedding band did because it is 1/4 size bigger. It only came in half sizes, not quarter sizes, so it is usually slightly large on my hand while my engagement ring is a perfect fit.

yep! I am about 15 lbs heavier than my wedding day weight - apparently it all went to my hips

Still fit. Had to take them off during my first pregnancy for a while but that's it. Today is our five year anniversary and I'm 30 weeks pregnant and they still fit! I guess my hand size doesn't really fluctuate with my weight, since I had gained weight after the wedding, then lost, and the rings always fit the same.

yup! I had to take them off near the end of my last pregnancy since it was summer. They get a lil tight when it's warm out, but still fit!

yes, but very strangely they didn't fit during my first pregnancy and for a few months pp, and with my second pregnancy they were too big, and now remain too big, even though I have weighed the same during pregnancy and pp with both pregnancies.

Yes, I was worried because they started getting tight so early in my pregnancy but a month or two after my son was born they fit perfectly, same with my shoes! The rest of my body isn't quite the same 
grapefruit / 4988 posts
Yes. I weighed more than I should have the year I got married, and have since lost weight.

Yes! Had to take them off during 3rd tri, but got them to fit maybe 3-4m PP.

Nope, not right now. I took them off for pregnancy and wore my mother's ring for LO #1 until I lost a stone in it. My engagement and wedding rings don't fit right now. I might size them up in the future. I'm waiting until I wean and do WW seriously to see if it's necessary or not. Right now, I'm wearing a sterling silver band from Amazon which is going to be the inspiration for my mother's band for LO #2.

Yes, and actually I should probably get it resized, I've recently lost weight and I feel like it's a little more loose than I'm comfortable with these days.
bananas / 9227 posts
I don't think so. But then again, I haven't tried it on for years.

Actually, I had to get mine taken down 1/4 of of a size. Although, I needed to do that right after the wedding, so Yes, they still fit and better now than ever!
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
Sometimes. Right now, they fit depending on how hot it is and how much sodium I've had. They'll fit a lot better after I lose the last 10 pounds

My rings are too big. I am waiting to wean before I get them resized.

i lost my engagement ring, but it was the same size as my band which still fits but is definitely more snug. I test it every so often to make sure i can still get it off. I may stop wearing it towards the end of pregnancy just to be safe. It leaves quite a dent in my finger now.

I had them up sized half a size a few months after giving birth. I hope I don't have to do that again after number 2 is born!

Noooooo. Sigh. Took them off about two weeks ago. Thank you third trimester.

Yes. I only have a wedding band that was DH's grandmother's wedding band. It amazingly fit perfectly when she gave it to us, and it still fits perfect now!
coconut / 8854 posts
Yes! They just started fitting again! I had to take them off at the end of my pregnancy, but now the swelling is finally gone. I am about 20 lbs heavier than I was when I got married.
pomegranate / 3565 posts
Yes, but only because my FIL is a jeweler who resized them for me after my 1st was born. My fingers (just like my feet) never went back to their original size. I usually have to take them off around the 2nd trimester.
eggplant / 11287 posts
Yes! I had to have them both sized down 1/2 size smaller after I had my first. I have skinny fingers and for some reason they got skinnier after having babies.
pomelo / 5607 posts
Yes, but I got out of the habit of wearing them while pregnant. These days there's a chance I'll scratch the baby with them, so I don't bother. If I was in the habit I wouldn't stop because of that, but since I'm not it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Same! I thought it was so weird, but I'm about to size them down, too.
