I always wanted one though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1806170 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:54:14 +0000 limabeanbabies 1806170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always worried about that last time, but I didn't end up needing them. If anything, my fingers were skinnier. It probably helped that most of my pregnancy was in the cooler months, so I didn't have hot days to make swelling worse. If I do swell up this time, I think I will just find a cheapy fake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1805399 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 09:26:53 +0000 snowjewelz 1805399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will see how much my fingers swell! If I'm almost due anyway I'll probably just go without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1805263 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 08:42:51 +0000 Happygal 1805263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hadn't thought about the possibility of this happening or buying a stand-in. I love the look of simple gold bands, so maybe I would buy one of those so I could wear it post-pregnancy as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1805259 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 08:41:43 +0000 LBee 1805259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going naked (aka ringless). My husband gave me a beautiful second band in anticipation of the baby's birth next week and I can't even freaking try it on (except on my pinky finger). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1805253 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 08:39:52 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1805253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Etsy has some great options. I was going to get a thin rose gold band, but I ended up being able to wear my grandmother's wedding band. I've had it for a long time but it was always sort of big and I don't want to get it resized. It was so sweet to have a piece of her with me during my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1805006 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 00:23:14 +0000 birdofafeather 1805006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, didn't bother! Which is weird because I hate not wearing a ring out and about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804657 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:47:57 +0000 spaniellove 1804657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a ring from Nordstrom...I think it was like $28? Sadly I think I like it better than my real wedding ring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804609 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:35:56 +0000 Boogs 1804609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Rabbit: Lol always nice when people don't notice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804586 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:32:39 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1804586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: oh bummer! maybe they'll get them back soon?

I'm thinking of just wearing a band so it's not too obviously a fake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804518 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:15:29 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1804518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I got one from Target for like $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804516 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:15:12 +0000 Meridian 1804516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ack, I definitely need a stand in ring asap!! Mine are super tight (even though I JUST Had them re-sized bigger a month ago, WTF). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804513 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:14:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 1804513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Wow!! What a close match!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804508 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:14:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1804508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wore a black pearl ring I already had that fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804498 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:11:57 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1804498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned to go to a dept store or Claire's to get stand in rings when I needed them. My engagement ring is bigger than my wedding band, so I ended up just wearing it at a certain point, a few weeks before my due date. Then for labor, because of the IVs I took them all off. I thought I would be much more swollen than I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804320 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 18:13:30 +0000 travellingbee 1804320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I did need stand in rings that I switched out at about six or seven months. Here are my real (on top) and stand in (bottom) sets. I bought them at Dillards on sale for like $15! </p> [attach=3175/14/n9yluj.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=3175/14/n9ylum.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804303 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 18:09:10 +0000 charmed 1804303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a fake one on Etsy for an out of country vacation I took earlier this year. It's about a half size too big, so hopefully it will work if my fingers start swelling.<br /> (I tried to look up the shop, but apparently it doesn't exist anymore :bummed: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804277 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:57:34 +0000 Smurfette 1804277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I stopped wearing my engagement ring and one wedding band. Just wore one starting around 33 weeks, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804253 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:44:12 +0000 Ra 1804253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just didn't wear my rings. I only wear them out in public anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804252 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:44:06 +0000 night cheese 1804252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I just stopped wearing my rings too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804243 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:39:09 +0000 msmug 1804243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a sterling silver ring that I have as a stand in... But I just don't like it. I'd rather wear nothing than that.

I just wore my wedding band on a chain around my neck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1804175 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:06:46 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1804175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't gotten a stand in ring for pregnancy yet and probably won't, but I did get one for our honeymoon. I bought it from Berricle and was really impressed with the quality, especially for the price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stand-in-ring-during-pregnancy#post-1801856 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:00:00 +0000 Boogs 1801856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get a stand in ring while you were pregnant because of swelling and all that fun stuff? If so, where did you get it from? And share a photo if you can for fun! </p>
