I'm allergic to nickel so I couldn't find a blingy one that I could wear without spending a hundred bucks on.

I wonder if they still have it...I am going to check. How much bigger did you get it? My wedding/e-rings are 5 1/2 so not sure what size I should get? I am 36w so I don't have too much longer to go... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-942898 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:39:59 +0000 ladybee 942898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks and my rings haven't fit since June. To be honest though they were a little tight before getting pregnant due to some after wedding weight I put on. This thread has inspired me to get a cheap set because I HATE being pregnant without a wedding ring. The guy at Lowe's said today, "make sure whoever is helping you with that (points to my tummy) does the painting, not you." I HAD to say, "I'll let my HUSBAND know." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-942884 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:35:20 +0000 runsyellowlites 942884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the stand in I got! Maybe I'll get luck &amp; not need it this time but if I do atleast I won't have to go ringless! </p> [attach=1400/13/mq5imw.448x600.stand-in.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-942875 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:32:08 +0000 MrsH 942875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newly purchased.

I do like the idea of a fake ring though.... it would be fun to pick out something. My ring is also DH's great grandma's ring so I would never want to change it, but if I had to have something different I'd make the best out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-814520 Wed, 29 May 2013 04:17:11 +0000 Penny Lane 814520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually made it through my whole pregnancy with my rings on. granted, for the last few days I couldn't get them off... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-814481 Wed, 29 May 2013 00:24:51 +0000 tlcbaby 814481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just going ringless. I made it to about 37 weeks before I took them off and I was so sad, but I figured it will only be for a few weeks so I didn't bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-814288 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:41:40 +0000 78h2o 814288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend getting a half-way decent stand in... I went through several cheap ones from Target and Walmart before I finally got a sterling silver one from Kohls that didn't tarnish!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-814261 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:31:25 +0000 MrsLilybugg 814261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: beautiful!!!

But my swelling last night was due to IV fluids. You might be able to get away with your original rings!</p> <p>I think at this point I'll just go ring-less if I can't get my real rings on. With less than three weeks to go, I should probably save that money. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813826 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:08:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 813826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: and yeah --- around 32/33 weeks is when I started wearing the fake one! the e-ring went first, then the band! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813824 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:07:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 813824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a faker eternity ring to look like my wedding band.

I didn't think of checking out our TJ Maxx counter. I don't think I"ve ever even looked at their jewelry when shopping there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813768 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:47:32 +0000 MrsLilybugg 813768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: what a great idea, to size up your original band! Yea, my rings were comfortable until literally TODAY. out of nowhere. AAAAA! (32 wks)<br /> @Mrs Hedgehog: That's a great way to still wear your rings! I know I'll miss them when they're stored, but for some reason I am so bad with necklaces.<br /> @cascademom: what a sweet picture!<br /> @blackbird: NICE!!!!!!! My original set would soooo be jealous lol.<br /> @deerylou: YOu might get away with not needing one! I was told that you swell considerable when in labor and in the heat too. My swelling came outta nowhere.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813743 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:37:47 +0000 deerylou 813743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Should I get a stand in?

I think it was $24.99. I gave it to my best friend when she was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813589 Tue, 28 May 2013 14:46:18 +0000 blackbird 813589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diamonique, ladies ;) if its gonna be fake, it might as well sparkle a lot, lol! It held up very well, too!! Didn't get dull. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813565 Tue, 28 May 2013 14:41:28 +0000 Vegmama 813565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: BLING!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813530 Tue, 28 May 2013 14:35:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 813530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that's beautiful!

I wear them on a ring holder necklace. That way I still have them with me but I don't have to worry about swelling. It has worked out pretty great so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-swelling-show-me-your-fake-e-ringsbands#post-813403 Tue, 28 May 2013 13:56:00 +0000 Modern Daisy 813403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I've now gotten a whole new e-ring setting and wedding band, I am going to have my original wedding band sized up once this becomes a problem. I can still comfortably get my rings off and on and I'm 26.5 weeks, but the heat of the summer is about to start and I've got a lot more weight to gain so I don't think I'll last too much longer. </p>
