I guess I was delusional in thinking that my rings would magically fit again after I had LO and my swelling went down. No such luck.
When did your rings fit again? Did you have to get them resized?

I think maybe 3-4 wks pp? But even now at 8 months pp they're still tight sometimes, depending on the weather...I think my knuckle also permanently got bigger.

I was able to squeeze them back on around 2 or 3 weeks pp but they didn't properly fit for another week or two after that.

I got them back on around 5 months PP. But then it became summer and I had to remove them again. They "fit" but they aren't comfortable when I get swollen and sweaty outside.

I was just wondering this today. I'm 28 weeks and finally had to retire my rings. They are wearable on a normal day, but now that the heat is here as soon as I start moving/cleaning/exercising my fingers swell up like crazy. I'm worried about them getting stuck!
It makes me so sad to see them sitting in my jewelry box. I hope my fingers go back to normal somewhat quickly after LO arrives!

I was able to shove them on around 6 weeks. I can only comfortable wear one wedding band still at 9 weeks though (I have a 3 band stacking set)

It took forever! I could get them on around 4 months but they were tight. They fit fell around 5 months and now I can wear them regularly and not look like a single teen mom. (I look really young!)

I wish mine fit again. I'm 3.5 weeks PP. I may re-size them in the meantime since I gained so much, otherwise it will be a loooooong time before I can wear them again!

I haven't been able to wear mine for a year, I wasn't even pregnant then I was thinking about having it sized to my size now so that after I have Lo it should fit sooner if I end up swelling. Well maybe. I really miss wearing my rings & would like to show them off a little bit. It will be interesting to hear how long it took for others.

2 weeks pp I could squeeze them on. About 2 months pp they fit normally again.

I'm 4 weeks pp and mine aren't even close to fitting. Going to give it 4 or 5 months and if they still don't fit, I'll get them resized.

I squeezed mine on around 4 weeks, but couldn't get them off again. Oops.

Ugh, I must have cow fingers. I could get mine on at 10 weeks pp, but they wouldn't come off without a fight and I couldn't get all three bands on comfortably. I have about 12 lbs to lose and it's summer, so it may be awhile. I struggle with my knuckle, too. I think it'll be fall before I can slide them on and off with ease!
I can at least wear a single wedding band, though! Small victories

I resized mine a half size up about 5 months PP...I could wear one but not both. They're a teeny bit loose now but I'm pregnant again so I'm sure it's a good thing

Little Miss Miss is almost 9 months and they sort of fit. My fingers swell when it gets hot so I haven;t been wearing them lately. I'm considering resizing. Sigh.

@rahlyrah: after I had them resized... lol
I had them sized down when I lost weight, then after pregnancy I knew it would be a LONG time before I was that size again.
