With DS1, I think I preemptively stopped wearing them around 30 weeks.
This time around, I'm past 31 and still wearing them comfortably most days. I am also drinking a ton of water this pregnancy than last which I think attributes to it!

I can't remember, but I had a late July baby last time- I think the heat definitely made it worse. This one will be a December baby so I wonder if the cold will help.

39 ish weeks I think. I was due in March though so I didn't swell at all really!

I think I'm going to preemptively stop wearing mine in the next few weeks (I'm 29 weeks now.) I've noticed my hands swelling more and more as it gets hotter, and I'd much rather not have them get stuck!

Around 36 weeks for pregnancy 1. Never had to take my rings off for preg 2.

I took mine off around 20w. The cold weather during the winter was causing skin irritation so I just preemptively took them off and never put them on again.

When we checked into the hospital. I didn't want anything to happen to them.

right around 36-37 weeks. Although I had to buy a fake larger sized ring at 30 weeks, so I just stopped wearing that one also.

Around 31 weeks for good but I hadn't been sleeping in it for a while before. I'm wearing a non-wedding ring now but even that is tight at times.

Never. My legs were super swollen but my hands never got so bad I had to retire my rings, though they were tight at times.

never!
ETA: Actually, I think I took my ring off some time toward the very end of my second pregnancy.

I started taking mine off around 20 weeks. Not sure if I really needed to but I hate the feeling of tight rings.

Wore them the entire time for my first two pregnancies. I could still get them easily on/off at the end.

With #1 around 30 wks
#2 I had no swelling so I kept them on the whole pregnancy

18 weeks. But, I also got put on bedrest for swelling at 8 weeks! That should've been ominous to me developing pre-eclampsia later in pregnancy now that I think about it!

In the early 20-weeks. I had INSANE swelling in my hands, legs and feet. Ugh, I was a miserable pregnant lady

Not till labor with #1 - spring baby. With #2 in the last month? Late summer baby!

I take them off at night, but am still wearing them comfortably during the day at 21 weeks.

Never with number one. I'm 12 weeks with number two and already have some days where they feel tight if I walk around outside in the heat all day. But in my office (where it's freezing!) my rings are still loose.

I have three bands so they got tight around 35 weeks so most days I just wore one wedding band for the rest of the time.

With ds1 (feb baby) I wore them the whole time.
This time, starting in the third tri, I only wear them to work (2 days a week in the office). When I'm home or going to be outside in the heat, I take them off.

I took my engagement ring off at 37 1/2 weeks (more precautionary than anything) but kept my wedding ring on through the delivery. I had a vaginal birth so I was able to keep it on and my earrings in.

Never. I was wearing them when they began my induction. They asked me to remove them at that time.
