I stopped wearing mine around 20wks around the same time with DS last time too. Mine isn't so much swelling or fatter fingers its that is won't fit over my knuckle anymore. I guess with joints relaxing in preperation for birth this can happen? I bought a decent fake sterling silver/cubic zirconia set with DS for like $100 last time because I figured it would last longer than something that would turn my finger green in a week.
So glad I did. I couldn't fit my real rngs over my knuckle till DS was like 9 months old even though I had lost all the baby weight and then some. So I wore the fake set for over a year all together. U am guessing that will be the case this time too.
I had to take mine off about a week and a half ago. We went to an arts festival that weekend and I bought a handmade silver band with LOs birthstone in it. It was only $12, so I didn't spend much. It's a full size and a half larger than my wedding set, but I have fat knuckles so it's staying on.

Re: Rings Don't Fit
I don't think I could get my wedding ring off at this point....
