I am 3.5 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966384 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:34:44 +0000 sslm 966384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: hmmm, that's interesting!! I'd hate to not be able to wear it for a year! Then we'll be ttc again and I'll just have to remove them again :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966379 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:34:19 +0000 rachiecakes 966379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I know! By 6 months I was like 'f this' and got it resized only to find 3 months later it was too big, ugh. I also got rid of some heels I bought during pregnancy but never wore because of the swelling and around the 9 month mark I could comfortably fit back into some of my size 7's again (though I now by 7.5 in most shoes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966339 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:27:26 +0000 Andrea 966339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months and my band still doesn't fit. I am trying to lose weight before getting it resized! I bought my band at my absolute skinniest pre-wedding weight so I am not surprised it doesn't fit. Hahaha. Will probably end up resizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966323 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:23:29 +0000 blackbird 966323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm, when you breast feed, your body releases relaxin-could be why your knuckle feels expanded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966278 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:12:37 +0000 sslm 966278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: oh no!! Hmm. Perhaps I should wait... I'm just so sad to be walking around ring less. I love my rings!!!</p> <p>I also have an engineering ring that you wear on your pinky and that won't fit either!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966229 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:01:30 +0000 rachiecakes 966229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I got really frustrated when I couldn't get my wedding ring back on at 6 months postpartum and got it resized. I totally regret it!! Once I slowed down breastfeeding (around 9.5/10 months) I lost the last few pounds and everything shrunk back to normal (and beyond) - my ring now swings around on my finger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966211 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 08:56:42 +0000 blackbird 966211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm +10 lb, 3 months pp, but I can only wear the wedding band comfortably. Forget my engagement ring. I'm going to wait until the fall, though. I'm hoping summer is making them tight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966194 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 08:54:12 +0000 MrsH 966194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been able to wear my rings since 6w and I haven't put on any weight (15 weeks now) :( stupid extra fluids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-966186 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 08:52:52 +0000 hilsy85 966186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 months pp my knuckles are still bigger...not my finger, just my knuckle! And I'm at my pp weight. Annoying! I should just get my rings resized... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965811 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:00:45 +0000 loveisstrange 965811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Yeah, probably once we get back to the states. Im in hte process of losing weight, so we'll see if it works. I'm doubtful though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965801 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:55:41 +0000 Dandelion 965801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: If you have to do it every time you put your rings on or off, it might not be a good thing, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965797 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:53:46 +0000 sslm 965797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: boo!!!! That sucks :( are you going to get them resized?</p> <p>@Dandelion: ok I will try that! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965784 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:47:42 +0000 Dandelion 965784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Try a little experiment...put your hands up in the air for about 10-15 minutes (or longer, if you can stand it) so that the fluids can drain down. If the rings still can't get on, then it's probably time to resize them.</p> <p>(Hand models do this before getting photographed, lol...makes the hands smaller) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965782 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:46:55 +0000 loveisstrange 965782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15 months pp and I still cant wear mine. My knuckles are too big.</p> <p>Im only 3lbs over my pre-preg weight and well under what I weighed when I had to take them off at 24 weeks. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965778 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:45:39 +0000 sslm 965778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: 3 months!!! It's bumming me out. I haven't worn my rings since I was about 25 weeks :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965768 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:41:09 +0000 Dandelion 965768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far pp are you?</p> <p>I got my ring back on after a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-fingers-stay-bigger-post-partum#post-965761 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:38:06 +0000 sslm 965761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am now about 12 lbs from my pre preg weight and I still can't wear my wedding rings. They won't even go passed my knuckle. They weren't tight at all before I got pregnant. </p> <p>Is it possible my fingers are just bigger?? Did this happen to anyone?? How long should I wait before getting my rings resized? </p>
