If so, when did it start?
My sister said she didn't have any swelling and she didn't have to take off her rings.
-
My hands swelled up a little during the last month of first pregnancy.
-
I did, but not too badly. My fingers swelled up enough that I had to take my wedding band off around...32 weeks or so? And I could really only wear flipflops. I was also big pregnant over the summer.
-
My hands swelled toward the end of the day starting around 20 weeks. My ankles and feet got swollen at the end of the day starting sometime in the third tri.
-
Mine have been at night. I think because I'm getting hot then. I've stopped wearing my rings to bed for a couple weeks now. (Currently 25w. Last time I did stop wearing them entirely, but not till later. For what it's worth, both of mine are summer pregnancies, and it's very hot and humid here. My hands swell not pregnant at times.
-
Hands and feet have been swelling. I just took my wedding rings off, just shy of 32 weeks. The feet just started swelling a week or two ago.
-
Ughhh I had extreme edema in my feet and legs awful started around 26 weeks and got sooo bad
-
Yes - it was insane. I couldn't wear my rings by 24 weeks and couldn't wear any of my shoes soon thereafter. Had to buy a size up, and by the end, those didn't fit either.
-
I had some minor swelling in my feet and hands with ds1 but I had very extreme swelling in my feet starting about 35 weeks with the twins. I could barely fit into flip flops.
-
Hands - Not enough to take off rings
Feet - Slightly but fit into all shoes still
-
Yeah, probably happened around 5 months. Rings came off pretty early.
-
I've only noticed my feet swelling 2x. (knock on wood!) And it started last week. (27w.) It seems to only happen if I'm on my feet all day, or sitting for a long time. Like, last night we went to the movies. We saw Avengers and it was like, 2.5 hours long, plus I had a ton of popcorn (salt!) So my feet were pretty swollen by the end of the night.
-
I felt like my rings were tight before the midway point! I was super swollen when I was pregnant, it was miserable. By the end I couldn't even wear shoes!
-
Only my feet & legs, but consistently since ~20wks. They get fairly uncomfortable.
-
With DS I didn't and I figured I would because he was horn in August. I did have quite a but of swelling with DD though, and she was born in October.
-
Yes around 35-36 weeks. Rings stopped fitting.
-
My hands swell during my workouts, so I don't wear my rings. The swelling goes down after a few hours. My feet started the same exercise swelling at about 23 weeks. Otherwise so far so good!
-
Yes. My rings didn't fit sometime during my 2nd trimester. My shoes stopped fitting early on too. By the end, I had one pair of flip flops that fit. That's it. And both my hands and feet never went back to their original size.
-
I didn't swell at all, and I gave birth at 41+1 right after Labor Day in the South! I took off my rings for bed just in case they swelled overnight but thankfully it never happened.
-
My feet started to swell around 30 weeks, but I went on bed rest at 32 and that the solved the problem. My hands never swelled and my rings fit the whole time!
-
My hands are definitely swelling as it's getting hotter out, but I haven't totally removed my rings yet (27w). I'm praying that my feet don't swell.
-
In my first pregnancy? Barely a tiny bit, right at the end. I gained 12 pounds with that pregnancy, and I've never felt slimmer. I had to switch to a ring two sizes smaller than my wedding ring. I was also induced for low fluid, so I think that placenta was just nuts about clearing fluid.
This pregnancy is the total opposite. Trouble with swelling starting in the first trimester.
-
Late into my pregnancy like at 32+ weeks? DS was born in July and I live in Texas so the heat comes at us fast and high early on. So that didn't help!
-
Once I hit my 3rd trimester with LO #1, I would swell when I went for my walks. I was pregnant during the summer and due in September, so I expected that. My feet were good until I got to about 7.5 months. For a full month, my ankles and feet were huge. Then, suddenly, the swelling went down and I had my ankles back!
-
My feet started swelling around 30 or so weeks (maybe a bit before) and progressively got worse. To the point I could barely even get flip flops on.
-
Yes! My hands and feet/ankles. It was ugly. I couldn't wear my rings, and my feet went up about 1.5 sizes! I think it started around week 26-28.
-
My first, yes. Around 34 weeks my feet started to get swollen. My face also got pretty swollen looking toward the end, too. I think I took my rings off around 34/35 weeks.
My second, not at all. I never had to take off my rings and my ankles stayed very small.
My close girlfriend swelled so much during her pregnancy that she gained 75 pounds and by the time she was 35 weeks, even her husband's shoes were so tight. The poor thing literally had to go to the grocery store wearing her husband's shoes, untied. I can't even imagine. Luckily, she lost it all really quickly.
-
My feet and lower legs have been swelling for a at least a month if not longer and I'm 27 weeks exactly.
-
I had some swelling in my feet during the 3rd trimester, but I worked in a hospital so the nurses hooked me up with compression stockings. I had to take my rings off at about 35-36 weeks. But after delivery? Woah. Staypuft Marshmallow up in here!
-
By 30 weeks I stopped wearing my rings. The last month I could only wear flip flops and my fingers were fat little sausages. I had a LOT of swelling in the end.
-
@bluestriped bee: my first pregnancy, yes! I was super swollen from 32 weeks on. I took of my rings around 30 weeks. Second pregnancy I had zero swelling
-
My feet started swelling around 30 weeks. But my hands are still fine at close to 34 weeks.
-
Just my feet. Pretty consistently swollen at ev end of the day by 30 weeks or so.
