are your wedding rings on or off?

Was at the mall today and decided to get my rings cleaned - my engagement ring came off just fine, but my band would not budge!! I had to spray windex on my finger! then afterwards, I couldn't get them back on :( boooooooo. I guess I'm going to have to get a fake set from Aldo or something. Will they fit again once baby is here??? I don't want to have to re-size them

are your rings on or off?

Some days on some days off. I couldn't wear them for a while after having DD2, but I was a bit heavier then. Hopefully they'll go right back on this time :)

Mine are the same size, but my engagement ring is a bit thicker. I can still wear them both, but together, with their bulk, they are hard to get off. I have taken to just wearing my wedding band. On the rare moment that a hot flash takes hold and my fingers swell I don't want to risk them getting stuck.

On. Barely. I bought a fake band last week for 9 at Walmart for when they don't fit anymore. So far, so good.

Still on, but my fingers swell at night.  I have to look for the bigger set I bought last time that I barely wore.

Chances are your fingers will go back to normal after pregnancy, but it can take some time.  I was fine right away but have friends that took a few months.

Off. I swell at night. Could get the engagement ring on but not the band...bummer. It's not in our budget to get a temporary...Although I wish it was.

So thankful that mine are currently still on! But they are definitely tighter than they used to be, I've made it this long, hopefully they'll survive the entire pregnancy!

My gorgeous wedding ring has been off since I was pregnant with my 22 month old daughter. It was a little snug before I got pregnant and then I just kept putting off resizing it until my finger was "normal" size again. Then I waited to long and got pregnant again. Now my plan is to wait until my fingers shrink back to normal after this delivery and then get it resized for good.

I haven't been wearing my engagement just because it gets uncomfortable throughout the day as I am swelling a little. But my band is fitting just fine.

My wedding ring is stuck on.   But it was stuck on before I was pregnant.  They're probably gonna have to cut it off.  Bummer.

Still on (and kind of loose, actually). My 38 week pregnant gf noticed last night that I was still wearing my rings and mentioned that she hasn't been able to wear hers for a looong time. I felt a little bad about that Tongue Tied but I can't help it!

My engagement ring comes with two bands--- one for the top, one for the bottom. When we got engaged, I obviously got the engagement ring. Then, when we found out I was pregnant, FI gave one of the bands to DS to give to me, in symbolism of me, FI and him being a family of 3, regardless of genetics. So, both rings are special to me.

So I wear both the band and the engagement ring. For the last couple of days though, I haven't been wearing them. My hands have been getting so dry, and I actually had a small rash on my finger where the band(s) were so tight. It's fine now, but I have the opposite problem as you do--- the single band fits perfectly, but the engagement ring is tighter. I can start out wearing both in the morning, but I usually have to take one or both off by mid-afternoon.

This has only been within the last week and a half. They were on and fine until that point.

Surprisingly my engagement ring is still fitting. But that could just be because it's been so friggin cold here. We'll see how it goes when it starts to "warm up."

Off. I discovered last week that I could get them on, but it is more comfortable with them off and I don't want to risk getting them stuck. With my DD, I couldn't wear them until she was 6 months old.

At this point I can still get them on but I like to wear looser rings and they are uncomfortable to me. I probably won't be able to get them on by the end. Now my feet, ankles, and calves are really swollen.

On- my wedding band is slightly larger than the engagement ring so if need be I can just wear the wedding band. When I was pregnant with DD both were off by this point, but I was a lot heavier and DD was a June baby in Texas so it was hot. Min eventually went back on, about a week for the band and then a month or so for the engagement ring. Like a PP said, sometimes I will get a hot flash and I will take them off as a precautionary measure- I had a friend who had to have hers cut off at the ER because she refused to take them off willingly and then they got stuck...

Off.

I only wear my wedding ring, since the pearl on my engagement ring is loose and the company with the warranty went out of business. Both still fit, but I tend to swell up randomly (not often, thank goodness) and it gets a little snug. I've never had to take them off before, but I took them off a few weeks ago when I got a little bloated and just haven't bothered with putting it back on.

I still randomly touch that spot because my whole hand feels/looks off without the ring on and I still have a slight indent from where it usually sits.
