It was in the low 30s weeks for me, I forget exactly when. Sometimes they would be too tight if it was hot, but by the early 30 weeks it just wasn't worth trying them every morning. I have another ring that was always too big on me that I just wear on that hand now (yay, now it fits). I miss my beautiful wedding rings, but I still illogically feel better wearing the stand in. I was tempted to buy a new cheapish stand in but since this fits, and it's so temporary, I saved the money.

@sweetooth: I just added it to a necklace I was already wearing.

I stopped wearing mine around 30 weeks because while I could (usually) get them on in the morning, I would swell as the day progressed and sometimes taking them off at night was a scary task.

8 weeks I hadn't gained any weight and I could get the rings on in the morning but by the afternoon my finger swelled around them so I stopped wearing them because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them off. I'm hoping once summer is over I will be able to wear them again.

38 1/2 weeks currently and mine are still fitting luckily. I would do the chain or purchase a stand in as prior posters have suggested!

I'm 36 weeks, and still wearing my rings...so I'm hoping that they fit til the end! We'll see though (summer heat = swelling!)

Mine were already a little snug when I got pregnant and at around 15 weeks, I stopped wearing them. And even a few months after they still wouldn't fit comfortably. Had to get a stand-in ring just so I had a ring on my finger until my real ones fitted. Ultimately had to get Juno Jewelry to resize them so I can start wearing them again.

I made it to 37 weeks, then the swelling put an end to that nonsense!

Around 24 weeks I was forced to stop wearing them all together. Before then they would get too snug when I would swell but at 24 weeks I retired them.
DH bought me a look a like engagement ring from walmart for $8 in a bigger size! So I wear that now just because I miss wearing my wedding rings. Lol

I'm nearing 38 weeks, and my rings still fit. It's probably because it's December!! Cold weather makes my fingers thinner.

@CristyCritters: Thanks for posting that link and reviving an old thread of mine! I have had my son now, and almost 6 weeks after birth my rings still don't fit comfortably. Hopefully that changes - but if not, resizing may be in my future.

I'm 37 weeks and mine still fit MOST of the time, but I took them off because my fingers were swelling sometimes. I think I took mine off around 34 weeks? I bought a cheapo ring that's a size and a half bigger than normal.

I'm almost 14 weeks and it has been getting noticeable harder to put my rings on already I've been thinking about getting a cheapie placeholder ring for when the real ones won't fit. Anyone have any suggestions about good places to look for a decent looking but not to expensive faker?

@sweetooth: I'm 19wks and took mine off last week. There were days when I couldn't get it off at all and I worried if I left it much longer they'd have to cut it off me to maintain circulation!
It is sad, but DH tells me the baby is my ring. Plenty sign of commitment We're thinking of getting a cheap decoy for the remaining months, though.
