Rings

When did you have to stop wearing your wedding/engagement rings? I just noticed that mine have become a little snug, and even though I can still wear them, I am nervous that I will wake up one day and not be able to get them off. Two of my friends had to have theirs cut off. I do not want this.

I am thinking about going to look for a "replacement" type ring. Any suggestions?

Re: Rings

Within the past few days, my rings have started getting snug at times. I'm still able to wear them but I may end up wearing just my wedding band which is slightly more comfortable than wearing both together.

I've looked at some "temporary" rings, mostly white gold bands. I found one for about $100 at a local jeweler. I may end up getting that for when the weather starts getting warmer and my hands inevitably swell more often.

ETA: I'm 24 weeks today.

Re: Rings

I stopped wearing mine a little early, around 6 months because my friend scared me because she had to have her rings cut off. I wear my grandma's wedding band and I didnt want to risk it.

I keep meaning to get a band, but I haven't yet.

Re: Rings

I am at the end, I can still wear my wedding band, but I havent been able to wear my beautful e-ring for about 3 weeks now.
Sometimes my fingers swell and I am afraid my wedding band will get stuck, but I take it off every evening just in case

Re: Rings

Mine are starting to bother me at 27 weeks...but I am still able to wear them. I will be super sad if I end up totally unable to wear them...they're such a symbol for me so likely I'll wear them as long as I can and then go buy a thick heavy necklace to wear them on.

Re: Rings

I had to stop wearing mine around Christmas. I went on the QVC website and bought a fakie set for $49.99 and you wouldnt believe the compliments Ive gotten!

Re: Rings

My mother had her ring cut off when she had been pregnant with me. I was her fifth and final pregnancy. Go figure! I had it soldered back together and got married in it.

Re: Rings

At 10 wks. I have pretty long fingers and I am now 1.25 size bigger.

I got a plain band just for the pregnancy. I miss my rings...

Re: Rings

I am 33 weeks and mine still fit ...

Re: Rings

I stopped wearing mine around 20 weeks. They were okay when I put them on in the morning, but by the time I got home from work I needed soap or hand cream to pull them off. I was afraid one day they would get stuck and not come off so I just stopped wearing them

Re: Rings

I got a sterling silver cheapie for $10 at walmart. I'm ready when it's needed.

Re: Rings

Rings? What are those?

Re: Rings

I am still wearing them comfortably. Actually one ring is a bit loose form the cold weather

Re: Rings

OB urged me to take them off at week 22. I have an eternity band and would never want to cut it.

They don't fit right now due to the edema.
I miss mine too.

Re: Rings

I am 35 weeks and mine still slide on and off. I tried taking them off and on every day to make sure they weren't getting too tight to avoid them being cut off. If they are feeling snug and uncomfortable I would def take them off and just get a costume jewelry ring to wear in place of it! In Macy's you can find some decent ones.

Re: Rings

Sometime in my early 20s I had to stop wearing my wedding ring. I still wear my e-ring without a problem but I miss having my wedding ring.

Re: Rings

I am 33 weeks and mine still fit fine. They are actually a little big on me from the cold weather.

Re: Rings

I am 34 weeks and some days I can't get my E-ring on. I am still able to wear my wedding band, though I don't know how much longer.

Re: Rings

at 25 1/2 weeks both my rings still fit fine. I only had a slight issue one day getting them off.

Re: Rings

I'm still able to wear them both fine.
But i think soon i won't be able to.

But i have another wedding band that is alittle bigger that should fit if the other ones don't fit.


OK i just put my rings on and they don't fit so i guess now i can't wear them. I have to wear the other one

Re: Rings

Mine started to get a little tight recently. This morning when I tried to put my wedding band on, it was a struggle and it's normally loose. So I decided to go with different rings today. Feels weird.

Re: Rings

i havent worn them since about 5 months.....

my husband did buy a plain band to wear for xmas... but unfortanely i grew out of that one too!!!!

Re: Rings

My e-ring was slightly smaller than my wedding ring- I forget when I stopped wearing it. I wore my wedding band till 36 weeks- I think I could have gone a little longer but didn't want to push it.

I decided not to bother with a replacement for such a short time span.

Re: Rings

my rings stopped fitting at about 4-5 months.
