Did your rings fit throughout your pregnancy or did your fingers swell making it almost impossible to wear them?
My fingers are fat to begin with and my rings have never been loose. At 22 weeks, they don't fit anymore w/o making my finger look like a sausage.

My fingers swelled a little but daaaang, my feet swelled up SO MUCH during my last trimester. I had to buy new shoes. I'm not looking forward that part again.

I'm 24 weeks now, and like you, have super fat fingers. I took off my engagement ring a couple of weeks ago and just wear my wedding ring. I find it is MUCH more comfortable.

They didn't! I wore my rings until I went into labor!

i'm 31 weeks right now, and all my rings still fit. i don't think my fingers swelled up at all, but my calves are looking pretty thick. =(

I'm 36w4d and I haven't had any real foot or hand swelling so far (knock wood!) I've had a few instances where my rings felt tight for a little bit, but it was usually just a sign I needed to drink some water.
I attribute it mostly to the fact that I haven't had any sodas during the pregnancy.

at 31 weeks, yep, I hate not being able to wear my wedding rings. I wonder if people think I am not married.
My feet are the same!

I'm like @Chopsuey119. I wore mine throughout pregnancy and didn't really notice any difference in my hands.

@JustlikeHeaven: I was worried about this too, so I went to Claire's in the mall and bought a cheap little fake set. Nothing fancy or expensive obviously, but enough that if someone were to glance down they'd still know I'm married. Plus I feel naked without my rings. Luckily, I've still been able to wear my real ones so far.

I was pregnant in the summer in Florida... so they swelled pretty bad. My rings didn't fit until months after I gave birth, it was pretty embarrassing. I wore my wedding ring around my neck.

My engagement ring stopped fitting when I was 6 months preggo, but my band fit until 8 months. I'm now 6.5 months post-partum and while they both fit on my finger, it's a very snug fit.

I had to take off my rings at 23 weeks. :\ Apparently, I'm just a lucky person whose body swells during pregnancy. I have little sausage fingers!
I miss my wedding rings and my normal seized shoes.

My rings definitely stopped fitting pretty early on. I was so sad the day I had to take them off.
Post baby, my ring size went up an entire size and my feet went up half a size. Never went back. Had to resize my rings and give away all my shoes except flip flops and uggs.

My rings stopped fitting in the high 20's as far as weeks go. I got a much bigger fake wedding band to wear.
From 35-37 weeks on my shoes did not fit due to swelling and my socks would make my legs above them swell badly. I started working at home after that and the swelling went down since I could sit in the recliner with my laptop.
Fortunately within 2 weeks of delivering I was back to normal swelling wise and could wear my rings again.

I'm 32 weeks, and had zero swelling until today. Today it hit 70 degrees, and wham-o, there goes the swelling. It's already starting to go back down tonight now that it's cooling off. I'm still wearing my rings, but if we have too much more warm weather I'm going to have to take them off apparently...

I made it until week 30+ with my rings on, then my hands started to swell. My feet have just started swelling and I'm 38 weeks yesterday. Miserable!

I haven't had any swelling issues to date (almost 25 wks). However, I made a poor lunch choice (Boloco) and just swelled up like crazy and had to take my rings off. Hoping its temporary!

I stopped wearing my engagement and wedding rings at around 24 weeks...I could get them on, but it was snug and I was too scared that my fingers would swell and I would have to get them cut off. I did wear them around 34 weeks for my maternity photos. I just wore an old silver band I had in their place. After I delivered I was so scared my rings would never fit bc it felt like my joints were larger and it was really difficult to get my rings on and off...well, probably about 10 weeks post-partum my fingers returned to normal and my rings fit fine now.
My feet also got larger during pregnancy and I was hoping they would stay larger since I wear size 4.5 and it is so much easier finding size 5 shoes, but about my feet also eventually returned to their normal size.
