I wanted to do a poll on this, but for some reason, my computer won't open the tab. Grr.
Anyway, are your wedding rings off or on at this point? Mine are still on, but really should be off. I am trying to keep them on for the rest of this pregnancy (only 3 weeks and 3 days left until my scheduled c-section), but I don't think I'll make it.
I was able to keep my rings on for my prior two pregnancies. Oh, and just before getting pregnant, I lost 28 pounds, so that tells you how swollen my fingers are!
Re: Wedding Rings: Off or On?
Mine have been completely off since 28 weeks. I wear them around my neck. This is when my hands started to puff and I didn't want to risk having to cut them off.
I could still get them on until about 31 weeks but now they won't go on very far!

Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Wedding ring on, engagement ring off. Under normal circumstances my fingers swell in the summer and shrink in the winter, so my engagement ring is a bit smaller than my wedding ring - I usually wear them both in the winter and more often than not only wear the wedding ring in the summer. Swelling hasn't been too bad with my pregnancy, but it's just enough to make the engagement ring uncomfortable.
They've been off since about 31 weeks. It made me so sad to stop wearing them. My fingers are now so swollen that I can only get the rings about 1/3 of the way on. I'm so looking forward to wearing them again after the babies arrive!
Any STMs who can give us an idea of how quickly the swelling goes down afterwards?

This I have no problem getting mine on and off.
Mine are still on. Luckily I have never had to remove them for a pregnancy.

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:26-27&33-34
I had to take mine off last week ...they still fit, but TIGHT! So I was scared...we are doing maternity photos in two weeks though, so I'm hoping to grease up my finger and get them on for that haha!

I am (shockingly) still able to wear both, but only wear my wedding band. My engagement band is a bit tighter to keep the wedding band from spinning when they are worn together - and that has become a hassle to get on and off at night because of my knuckle on that ring finger.
I didn't make it past 6 months with DD, so this is definitely interesting to me!
On.
I haven't had any noticeable swelling so far, thank goodness.
