I am still wearing my eternity wedding band. So sad to take off my engagement ring. Can't wait until I can wear it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-358092 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:33:14 +0000 MamaMoose 358092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 35.5 weeks I still have no issues getting my rings on and off. I plan to wear them after LO is here. Hubs would be pretty bummed if I stopped wearing my ring considering what he paid for that bad boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-358070 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:26:22 +0000 Mrsbells 358070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose not to have an engagement ring because all my married friends only wear their wedding band. I have an eternity diamond band and thats it. I still take it off when I get home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-358050 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:19:29 +0000 ladyfingers 358050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear my engagement ring -- it was my mother's and has a wide band so wearing the two together pushes the wedding band too far up against my knuckle. Plus the engagement ring is now too tight. My wedding ring is a channel set thin band so I won't be going without just for LO. However, this morning I tried to get it off and it was really hard, so it might be coming off soon from bloating/swelling/weight gain. Awesome. I refuse to take it off already (I'm only 25 weeks) but I'm afraid of the ER extraction too, so I'm trying to see how long is too long to wait ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357927 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:44:30 +0000 mrstilly 357927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to take my rings off working 2 months of getting pregnant. They only just fit this last month when I lost some more weight. I've scratched DS twice so now I'm careful, but after over 2 years of not wearing my rings, I don't want to take them off again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357889 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:28:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 357889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I can still jam my rings on, I'm worried that one day they won't come off so they've remained off for a while.<br /> One of my pre-reqs when DH asked my ring preferences was a low profile setting so I wouldn't have to worry about scratching future LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357881 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:27:02 +0000 mrsjyw 357881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my ering and band off last month. They still fit, but they're tight and I didn't want to risk an emergency room extraction of my rings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357350 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:55:25 +0000 MaisyMay 357350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: My band is about 1/3 diamonds and is pretty alone.<br /> @Rosie Girl: @HeatherlovesKenny: @chopsuey119: I've scratched Hubs with mine, otherwise I wouldn't worry much about it. Getting baby poop under the stone is another concern of mine.</p> <p>@sarac: I may get a nice chain to wear it on at some point. That's a really good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357347 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:51:10 +0000 Rosie Girl 357347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never took mine off. They actually got stuck on at the end of my pregnancy, and I have never scratched either of my kids with it despite it having a high setting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357320 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:34:39 +0000 HLK208 357320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never scratched either LO's with it on but I did take it off for the last 2 months of my pregnancy + the first 3 weeks pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357279 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:39:52 +0000 sarac 357279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I got a simple flat set ring! I didn't want to worry in the future about it being caught on things. I'd have trouble working with a big ring sticking up anyway, it wouldn't fit under a glove. Maybe you could wear it on a necklace around your neck? I'd hate to just have a meaningful ring hidden away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357112 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:32:07 +0000 rachiecakes 357112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purposefully wanted a wedding band that had diamonds and was pretty on it's own because of this. I never wear my engagement ring anymore. Not only the worry of scratching DS but getting crud caught under the stone.<br /> I save it for special occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357073 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:19:13 +0000 chopsuey 357073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my e-ring off a couple of months ago.<br /> I'm wearing the eternity band DH bought me as my early push present.<br /> My e-ring has a high setting as well and I was worried of scratching my LO, but she's almost 19 months old and I've never scratched her with my ring! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/took-off-my-ring#post-357070 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:17:45 +0000 MaisyMay 357070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my engagement ring, but it its a little high and is square, so the corners can feel a little sharp. When LO is here, I'd hate it if I scratched her. A few days ago I took it off and put it in a drawer because it was starting to be just a bit uncomfortable. For now I'm just wearing my wedding band. </p> <p>Any other bees taking off their rings? </p>
