I ended up getting resized after giving birth. Good thing the resize (first one) was free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223271 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 22:31:37 +0000 skibobrown 223271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them the entire time, but luckily I took them off before heading off to the hospital when I was in labor. The IV really makes you swell up, so I had seriously fat fingers for at least a few days after giving birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223217 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:25:54 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 223217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today was my last day of wearing them, unless I can still get them on after the summer, but doubtful. I am able to get them on in the morning, but have difficulty getting them off in the evening. Clipping them if they won't come off is not an option with my eternity band. Hubby would flip! I am 28 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223207 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:19:22 +0000 Missrachelk 223207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have been off for about 3 weeks, so since about 25 weeks or so. I also never sleep in any jewelry and some nights they were very uncomfortable - my set is quite wide when worn together though. Before that I was trying one ring or the other because the 2 together hadn't been comfortable since closer to 20-22 weeks for me.</p> <p>I'm so happy that I have a nice ring that I usually wear on my middle finger of my right hand (an aquamarine) that I've been wearing on my ring finger. It's totally big enough even for some extreme swelling and I've even had compliments on it!</p> <p>Is anyone else nervous having their rings not on? I hate not having mine right there to check on. I'm actually thinking about getting a safety deposit box because with the weight I've gained I don't imagine I'll be back in them for at least a month if not more after baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223176 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:51:32 +0000 cvbee 223176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 33 weeks because a nurse scared me by telling me her story of how she *suddenly* swelled up and had to get her rings cut off. </p> <p>I wore them on a necklace from 33 weeks to 38 weeks when I delivered and I actually really liked that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223091 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:45:21 +0000 MamaG 223091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was probably about 25 weeks or so. You are in the DFW area, if I recall, which is where I am as well. Last summer's heat did me in for the water retention during pregnancy.</p> <p>I got a sterling silver band from WalMart of all places. I think we spent $20 on it and it was so scratched up by the end of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223055 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:17:42 +0000 rawrasaur 223055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 19 weeks tomorrow, and I have had trouble getting my wedding band (its .5 smaller than engagement ring) on a couple of morning. If I wait a little while then it will go on normally. I hope this isn't any indication of what is to come. </p> <p>I'm expecting that I can wear my engagement ring the whole pregnancy but not the wedding band, which is better than nothing so I'm okay with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223044 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:11:12 +0000 chopsuey 223044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with LO I kept my rings on until I went to the hospital. This time around they still fit at 17 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-223034 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:05:12 +0000 SleepyMonkey 223034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm 24 weeks and they are snug when it is really hot out and i'm walking around. my fingers end up looking like sausages! but, i try to avoid going out in hot weather and if i do, i take my rings off. most of the work day, i'm in a/c that is set at 68 so my rings are still actually quite loose because my fingers shrink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222965 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:22:24 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 222965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 22 weeks, they still fit without issues, even in crazy hot weather. I've always wanted a cheap artsy band (sterling silver or something) that I can wear when there's the potential to damage my expensive stuff, so maybe I'll finally end up with one of those when these stop fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222956 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:06:39 +0000 winniebee 222956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to stop right around 38 wks....and delivered at 38.5 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222953 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:04:35 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 222953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had to take mine off for the last four days before delivery, and that is because it got super hot out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222929 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 16:34:03 +0000 littlek 222929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was able to wear mine the entire pregnancy.

I never had to take mine off, but I was pregnant in the cooler months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222883 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:43:03 +0000 rachiecakes 222883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine off at 26 weeks. I had a friend that had to have hers sawed off and the heat from the saw on metal burned her finger and it's scarred. That scared me enough to take them off once I had a little swelling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222878 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:40:31 +0000 sulli301 222878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them the entire pregnancy with DD &amp; am hoping I will be able to this time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222859 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:31:11 +0000 MamaMoose 222859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Yikes! Good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222845 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:23:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 222845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: My sister's was actually after she gave birth, she wanted to wear her rings on her first date night without her daughter and put them on when her DH wasn't looking. By the time they arrived at my parent's hosue to drop off my niece, they had to call the hospital and get advice, her finger was turning blue. She was devestated and so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222829 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:12:12 +0000 MrsMccarthy 222829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine off two weeks ago at 31 weeks. The heat was making me nervous they would be cut off otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222817 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:03:27 +0000 Freckles 222817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore mine up until the last month of pregnancy. Then i could only wear my wedding band...it was just too much with two rings. </p> <p>Don't be disappointed if you can't get your rings back on right away. It took 8 weeks before all the swelling finally went down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222793 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:54:27 +0000 bushelandapeck 222793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still wearing mine at 37 weeks but days when I spend a lot of time outside they are definitely snug and I can't wait to take them off. I don't wear them at night or to the gym anymore which helps too I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222782 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:49:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 222782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember exactly, but probably somewhere around 30-32 weeks? My fingers had started swelling up with the head justenough that it was taking me over an hour to get my wedding band off and I really didn't want to have to have it cut. After I finally got it off I started wearing it on a chain around my neck...which turned out to be the right move since my fingers have resembled sausages pretty much ever since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222770 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:37:48 +0000 CarrieLouWho 222770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rings are always a little snug in the summer, so I assumed that my rings would be off sooner than later. I'm at 28 weeks now and my rings are totally fine. My fingers haven't been swelling even with the excessive East Coast heat, so I'm hoping I last a little while longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222749 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:28:33 +0000 leelee 222749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine stopped fitting at 16 weeks! Yup major swelling early on :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222744 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:27:01 +0000 joyjoy 222744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still wearing mine at 33 weeks, but it's not all that hot around here yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-wearing-your-rings#post-222732 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:20:50 +0000 MamaMoose 222732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: My MIL had to have hers cut off too.
