My rings still fit in general, but are getting tighter a lot quicker. For instance, if I get hot working out or cooking or something, my hands would always swell and I couldn't get my rings off. That was very rare. I'm noticing that happening much more often now. I too haven't gained too much and my water/salt intake are well managed.
I told DH I'm going to buy a larger cheap wedding band when my rings don't fit so I don't look like an unmarried pregnant teen in my baseball cap and sweatshirt at Walmart:-)
For some reason I feel like I'm going in the opposite direction and swelling even less than usual - all my shoes are getting looser, which is really weird I think all the blood has rushed from other parts of my body to my belly!

Yes and no! My e-ring is smaller than my wedding band, but both are very small (3.75 and 4). Before I even knew I was pregnant my e-ring was causing my finger to have a bright red line around it, so I stopped wearing it. It was August, so much hotter then. Now that it's cold I can wear both my rings again - at least for now!
I have definitely gained more than 6 lbs but my rings still fit. We shall see how long this lasts.

I took them off at 15 weeks, because I didn't want them to get stuck. I have a right hand ring that DH gave me while we were dating that I wear in their place.
I've gained about 14 pounds and my rings still fit. I don't see any swelling anywhere on my body and I haven't gained weight in any area other than my belly.
I was wondering at what point your rings start to get tight. I guess it's different for everyone. I drink lots of water and I don't like salty foods so maybe that helps?

My ring was a little tight and needed resizing before I got pregnant, so I decided to pull it off a few weeks ago before it got too tight and had to be cut off. I will have my ring resized after the swelling goes down post delivery. It doesn't bother DH or me to not be wearing my ring, as I only typically wear it when I leave the house. I match DH since he rarely ever wears his ring.
Mine are actually okay--but I wore them until delivery with DD, too. My feet got pretty swollen at the end w/ her, but not my hands so much. Hopefully that happens again.
I feel like my extremities are shrinking. shoes feel looser, and my rings are spinning. I've gained 6 pounds and I swear it's all in my belly and boobs.
My rings actually fit a lot better than they ever have before. I guess because I haven't gained weight yet and I am drinking a ton of water to try and avoid headaches. I hope they keep fitting me! I will be so sad when/if I can't wear them
i took mine off like two weeks ago and now I cant get them back on. I took them off bc they were getting tight... but now my fingers are like yes freedom and have completely fattened up (not visibly but enough to where my rings wont fit!) so dont take them off and forget to put them back on for a couple days bc they may not fit like mine dont. But thankfully I have free lifetime sizing so i when we go back for christmas i will go back and resize them to fit. you are not alone!

Mine still fit, but I had the resized bigger at the beginning of the pregnancy, and my 3rd wedding band is really thin and about 1/2 a size bigger then my e-ring/wedding band set so that I can just wear that when the others don't fit (which I know will happen, I retain a lot of water towards the end) and I plan on taken them all off before heading to the hospital.

my rings didn't fit with DS but I can't remember at what point in my pregnancy they stopped

I am exactly like you except my rings are falling off. I think I have gained all the weight in my breasts and belly and lost weight every where else.
Are you watching your salt intake?
