I'm almost 30 weeks and haven't had any swelling yet (knocks wood). Wondering if I should still take off my rings? When did you take yours off? Did you play it by ear? I always always wear my e-ring and wedding band (and rarely take off the wedding band except when kneading dough/meat).
-
Almost 37 weeks and still wearing my rings. I'm hoping to be in the never category.
-
I stopped wearing my e ring because it was a little snug, but my wedding band stayed on even for delivery.
-
I took mine off a couple weeks ago when we were doing some reno work, and DH suggested that it might be best to leave them off, so I have. I have ordered a stand-in ring in a size and a half bigger to wear, hopefully for the duration of the pregnancy.
-
I am 32 weeks 4 days just stopped wearing my e-ring on Tuesday. We have been having warmer weather than usual though, and it was just starting to be snug. Still wearing my wedding band.
-
i'm almost 37 weeks and my fingers stayed the same. i wish i could say the same about my legs. lol.
-
I was pregnant in Florida in the summer, so I took mine off very early. I was afraid of swelling, and I'm glad I did that!
-
I'm 37 weeks, and my rings are still on. I obsessively check them every day to make sure they still come off easily, but so far so good! I do notice that when the weather starts to warm up I start to balloon up pretty quickly, but we've only had a couple of warm days so far this year.
-
I took mine off about 2 weeks ago (28 weeks) because after working out or walking my fingers would swell.
Maybe just take them off every evening before bed, to make sure you still can? That way, if they feel a little snug the next morning, you know to leave them off that day. -
I took them off for delivery, I wasn't sure what would happen and I didn't want to be thinking about them being lost or misplaced, says the girl who dropped a ring in the drain while on vacation!
-
I took them off before I left for the hospital. I heard that the IV could make fingers swell, so I took them off..
-
They still fit me at 30 weeks but DH was worried they might swell all of a sudden and they would need to be clipped off, so I stopped wearing them. I just finally started wearing then again last week at 5 weeks postpartum and missed them so much!
-
I took my e ring off for delivery. Or rather, as I went to the hospital at 4am I didn't put my ering on. DH brought it with him and it went on the next morning after I delivered LO.
-
I never took them off. : ) I got lucky.
-
I had to take off my e*ring pretty early b/c it's half a size smaller than my band. My band sadly came off week 36 b/c it's already getting warm here & having it on makes my finger swell.... kinda stinks that as soon as I take it off they go down, but I almost couldn't get it off one day so I retired it.
I HATE not having my ring but with only a couple weeks left till my due date I can't bring myself to buy a stand in.
-
I JUST took mine off and replaced it with a cute little ring that I can wear on my middle finger just so I don't feel weird w/o a ring on my ring finger. And this happened right when I was 37 weeks a week ago! Also, the warm weather (70s - low 80s) didn't help this past week. My mom told me to make red bean soup until it's boiling and boil it for 5-10 mins and drink only the soup part to help with swelling. I'm not swelling horribly but will try it soon... Just to see if it really works!

Took mine off this week (33 weeks) because a nurse scared me with her story of how hers got stuck 'suddenly' and she had to have them cut off. I went home, took off my rings and put them onto a necklace.
