Just curious -
I had crazy swelling and had to take my rings off 6 months pregnant. I had the crazy, can-make-a-thumbprint-in-my-skin, swelling. I went up a shoe size and apparently went up a half-size in my ring size.
I was told at the jeweler that if I had swelling in my hands and feet that ring and shoe size generally doesn't go back to normal after losing the baby weight.
I'm 10lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight and 15lbs from my skinny weight at 6 months postpartum, still breastfeeding.
I just gave in and had my rings sent to be resized two days ago...

hmm, my rings never fit again. I assumed it was because I still have baby weight to lose, but my fingers don't seem fatter...
I wish I had gone up in shoes, I'm a half size and I was really hoping to go up to a full size!
-
I swelled like a balloon, and I was back to wearing normal shoes within a week and rings went back to normal within 2 months.
-
My ring size went up over 3 sizes. At 9 days pp, my rings fit again, but a little snuggly.
My shoes fit the whole time--except after all the IV fluids at the hospital. For a week I just wore socks--even to walk out of the hospital, Now shoes fit again (10 days pp).FWIW: I gained 44 pounds and have lost 24 lbs, 19 to go! (there's some rounding of decimals in there, I swear it adds up).

I'm also going to give in and resize my ring. My wedding ring fits, but not my ering. It was cold for about 2 days here this winter, and I was able to put it on then, but right when the heat came back so did my fat fingers. I had to take it off for surgery and never put it back on
-
I didn't have swelling and my fingers and feet stayed the same size.
-
I'm 5 weeks pp and my rings are not even close to fitting again. I have about 12 lbs left to lose. How long after baby did it take for everyone else's rings to fit again if, you had swelling?
-
My shoe size went up a 1/2 size but returned to normal after pregnancy - maybe like 2 months pp
My hands/fingers got fat during pregnancy so I stopped wearing my rings around 5 months...I squeezed them on for my maternity photos but could not wear them comfortably. I was convinced I would have to get them resized but probably around 3 months pp my hands returned to their normal size.
-
I stopped wearing my rings around month 7 due to swelling and I was able to start wearing my rings again around 2 months post partum. My feet swelled like crazy in my last 6 weeks and I was able to go back to my normal shoes by around 4 or 5 months post partum.

my sil actually had to have her rings cut off at the emergency room in her third trimester! scary.

@photojane: yikes!!
I can't stand the feel of anything tight on my fingers or arms so, my rings were off by 14 weeks. I will probably have to have them resized. Again!! I was an 8, now I'm wearing a 9 1/2! I'm 39 weeks pregnant.

I had to stop wearing my rings at 7 months and shoes were getting very snug the last month before I delivered (early bc of preeclampsia). My rings went on when I got home from the hospital and actually seem a little looser now. My shoes are fine also (I already had ginormous feet)
