There were days when I couldn't get it off at all and I worried if I left it much longer they'd have to cut it off me to maintain circulation!</p> <p>It is sad, but DH tells me the baby is my ring. Plenty sign of commitment :) We're thinking of getting a cheap decoy for the remaining months, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294878 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:48:00 +0000 CakeLady 1294878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 14 weeks and it has been getting noticeable harder to put my rings on already :sad: I've been thinking about getting a cheapie placeholder ring for when the real ones won't fit. Anyone have any suggestions about good places to look for a decent looking but not to expensive faker? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294863 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:43:06 +0000 AmandaB8 1294863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 37 weeks and mine still fit MOST of the time, but I took them off because my fingers were swelling sometimes. I think I took mine off around 34 weeks? I bought a cheapo ring that's a size and a half bigger than normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294857 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:39:22 +0000 sweetooth 1294857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CristyCritters: Thanks for posting that link and reviving an old thread of mine! I have had my son now, and almost 6 weeks after birth my rings still don't fit comfortably. Hopefully that changes - but if not, resizing may be in my future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294818 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:18:54 +0000 Vegmama 1294818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nearing 38 weeks, and my rings still fit. It's probably because it's December!! Cold weather makes my fingers thinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294765 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:53:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1294765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 24 weeks I was forced to stop wearing them all together. Before then they would get too snug when I would swell but at 24 weeks I retired them. </p> <p>DH bought me a look a like engagement ring from walmart for $8 in a bigger size! So I wear that now just because I miss wearing my wedding rings. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294675 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:53:28 +0000 JoJoGirl 1294675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wore them til the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294656 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:46:28 +0000 Greentea 1294656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never stopped fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294613 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:26:29 +0000 MsMini 1294613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made it to 37 weeks, then the swelling put an end to that nonsense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-1294590 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:17:48 +0000 CristyCritters 1294590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were already a little snug when I got pregnant and at around 15 weeks, I stopped wearing them. And even a few months after they still wouldn't fit comfortably. Had to get a stand-in ring just so I had a ring on my finger until my real ones fitted. Ultimately had to get <a href="http://www.junojewelry.com/">Juno Jewelry</a> to resize them so I can start wearing them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-920426 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:02:52 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 920426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks, and still wearing my rings...so I'm hoping that they fit til the end! We'll see though (summer heat = swelling!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-920342 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:28:32 +0000 SouthPaw 920342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>38 1/2 weeks currently and mine are still fitting luckily. I would do the chain or purchase a stand in as prior posters have suggested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-919878 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:04:24 +0000 swedishfish 919878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: thank you! It's surreal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-919762 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:42:33 +0000 MrsH 919762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks :( I hadn't gained any weight and I could get the rings on in the morning but by the afternoon my finger swelled around them so I stopped wearing them because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them off. I'm hoping once summer is over I will be able to wear them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-919753 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:41:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 919753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped wearing mine around 30 weeks because while I could (usually) get them on in the morning, I would swell as the day progressed and sometimes taking them off at night was a scary task. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-919725 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:35:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 919725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: I just added it to a necklace I was already wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting/page/2#post-919713 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:33:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 919713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was in the low 30s weeks for me, I forget exactly when. Sometimes they would be too tight if it was hot, but by the early 30 weeks it just wasn't worth trying them every morning. I have another ring that was always too big on me that I just wear on that hand now (yay, now it fits). I miss my beautiful wedding rings, but I still illogically feel better wearing the stand in. I was tempted to buy a new cheapish stand in but since this fits, and it's so temporary, I saved the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919708 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:31:35 +0000 blackbird 919708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were tight around 27 weeks (like, i probably should've taken them off, but i wore them on our babymoon) and left JUST the wedding band on for awhile. Once that stopped fitting (with about...6 weeks to go maybe?), i bought a cheap stand in. </p> <p>And yeah, i had to have my watch resized, too! With the summer heat, it's still just a little snug </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919694 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:29:10 +0000 Rubies 919694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1 they stopped fitting at around 6 months so I bought a cheapy stand-in band just because my hand felt weird without something on it. With this pregnancy, I'm 28 weeks and they still fit fine but are starting to feel snug because of the hot, humid weather. I hope I can keep wearing them throughout the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919615 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:10:04 +0000 fancyfunction 919615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometime around week 32 or so? My engagement is smaller than my band so that went out the window ever earlier! Even my watch stopped fitting. Everything started fitting again maybe a few weeks pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919602 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:04:54 +0000 tequiero21 919602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: congrats! Didn't know u had your lo!!!!</p> <p>Mine never stopped fitting. I'd do the necklace or buy a stand in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919544 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:54:05 +0000 sweetooth 919544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: sorry to hear about the Shrek feet - is it okay that I giggled at that though? :) You're getting closer to meeting your little girl, and closer to the shrinking feet too!</p> <p>@Pirouette: You're totally right. Maybe since we're having a November baby there's still hope that they will fit to the end.</p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: What kind of chain did you use? Was it just one that you already had?</p> <p>@MarieJ: I might look in to the whole "stand-in ring" thing. I never really thought about it before I started this thread.</p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I think everyone's body is different. And I'm sure your grandmother's ring is lovely :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919482 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:33:48 +0000 mrsjyw 919482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32/33 weeks? They started fitting tight and I got scared about the stories where women had to get their rings cut off, so I preemptively stopped wearing them and wore a fashion ring in its place :)</p> <p>They were back on 2 weeks pp! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919476 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:31:34 +0000 luckypenny 919476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm my band fit all the way through buy my e-ring was too small around 38 weeks I think </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919465 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:26:48 +0000 deerylou 919465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 41 weeks, and both rings still fit just fine. However, I only wear my e-ring when I leave the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919458 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:23:36 +0000 sslm 919458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 22 weeks. They still don't fit at 11 weeks pp which makes me very sad. I gained way too much weight though so I'm pretty sure I just have fat fingers now. I'm hoping they'll fit in 10 lbs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919447 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:20:59 +0000 cmomma17 919447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: Mine never stopped fitting. I didn't swell until the last two or three weeks and it was exclusively in my feet and ankles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-pregnancy-when-did-your-wedding-ring-stop-fitting#post-919438 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:18:49 +0000 dagret 919438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never stopped fitting but I was in my first trimester - beginning of 2nd in summer. </p>
