Did you get a stand in ring while you were pregnant because of swelling and all that fun stuff? If so, where did you get it from? And share a photo if you can for fun!
-
I haven't gotten a stand in ring for pregnancy yet and probably won't, but I did get one for our honeymoon. I bought it from Berricle and was really impressed with the quality, especially for the price!
-
I thought about it, but I didn't end up getting a stand-in. I just wore my wedding band on a chain around my neck.
-
I just didn't wear my ring.
-
I have a sterling silver ring that I have as a stand in... But I just don't like it. I'd rather wear nothing than that. Lol
-
Yeah, I just stopped wearing my rings too.
-
I just didn't wear my rings. I only wear them out in public anyway.
-
Nope! I stopped wearing my engagement ring and one wedding band. Just wore one starting around 33 weeks, I think.
-
I bought a fake one on Etsy for an out of country vacation I took earlier this year. It's about a half size too big, so hopefully it will work if my fingers start swelling.
(I tried to look up the shop, but apparently it doesn't exist anymore
)

Yes I did need stand in rings that I switched out at about six or seven months. Here are my real (on top) and stand in (bottom) sets. I bought them at Dillards on sale for like $15!
-
I planned to go to a dept store or Claire's to get stand in rings when I needed them. My engagement ring is bigger than my wedding band, so I ended up just wearing it at a certain point, a few weeks before my due date. Then for labor, because of the IVs I took them all off. I thought I would be much more swollen than I was.
-
I just wore a black pearl ring I already had that fit!
-
@travellingbee: Wow!! What a close match!!
-
Ack, I definitely need a stand in ring asap!! Mine are super tight (even though I JUST Had them re-sized bigger a month ago, WTF).
-
Yup, I got one from Target for like $15.
-
@travellingbee: The band really looks so similar to yours!
@Mrs. Rabbit: I checked there today, but no luck. I'm thinking of just wearing a band so it's not too obviously a fake.
-
@Boogs: oh bummer! maybe they'll get them back soon? Lol I get compliments on my fake ring from there all the time...cracks me up!
-
@Mrs. Rabbit: Lol always nice when people don't notice!
-
I got a ring from Nordstrom...I think it was like $28? Sadly I think I like it better than my real wedding ring!
-
Nope, didn't bother! Which is weird because I hate not wearing a ring out and about!
-
Etsy has some great options. I was going to get a thin rose gold band, but I ended up being able to wear my grandmother's wedding band. I've had it for a long time but it was always sort of big and I don't want to get it resized. It was so sweet to have a piece of her with me during my pregnancy.
-
I'm going naked (aka ringless). My husband gave me a beautiful second band in anticipation of the baby's birth next week and I can't even freaking try it on (except on my pinky finger).
-
I hadn't thought about the possibility of this happening or buying a stand-in. I love the look of simple gold bands, so maybe I would buy one of those so I could wear it post-pregnancy as well.
-
I will see how much my fingers swell! If I'm almost due anyway I'll probably just go without.
-
I always worried about that last time, but I didn't end up needing them. If anything, my fingers were skinnier. It probably helped that most of my pregnancy was in the cooler months, so I didn't have hot days to make swelling worse. If I do swell up this time, I think I will just find a cheapy fake.
-
I worried about this but I didn't need to use a stand-in ring. I always wanted one though!
-
I didn't need to use one, but if I had I just would have gone without.
