When did you have to leave the rings behind? I think most people say somewhere around 20 weeks, just curious because I'm getting snug (mostly from the heat/humidity - they do every summer) so was thinking about it. I've already told DH that I'm getting them checked/cleaned and redipped when I can't wear them

Hoping I make it that long... we shall see!

I never had to! I had my DS at the end of August so I was really pregnant all summer, but I never had any swelling! It was such a blessing!

I didn't either, and DD was born mid September.  If DH and I would go for a walk at night, I would take them off before that, also because of the heat and humidity.  Otherwise I wore them the whole time.

I think it was around 28 weeks with Lily...basically when it started getting hot.  I am hoping to have far less swelling this time around since it will be winter and maybe will even be able to wear my rings till the end!

DS was born in July and I never had to. I did have them sized up a 1/4-1/2 size early in my pregnancy b/c they had always been tight.  Now they are super loose and I'll have to have them sized back down eventually.

My rings were a perfect fit before I got pregnant with my daughter, with my massive weight gain I had to stop wearing them about 18 weeks I think. My DD was born in Feb.

i can't really remember but it was somewhere around then. I just got a fake ring and wore that until i could put my real one back on.

About 25 weeks, DS was born in October. Do not rush to put them back on, I tried 2 weeks post partum and I literally was inches away from going to the hospital. I got it on, but then blood started rushing to the tip of my finger and I could not get them off. DH rushed to get a bucket of ice and I was crying because it hurt so bad. Between relaxation, ice, and a tub of butter---and two hours later, I finally got it off. I couldn't put mine back on until March. *Sigh* I will never do that again! Sheesh.....

When I was pregnant with DS it was definitely mid to late 2nd trimester that I finally just took them off.  DS was born in August so it was probably around May that I stopped because of the same reason you state...humidity and swelling!!

I wasn't able to get them back on comfortable for about 2 months after he was born.

With DC#1 I made it to 30 weeks before they just wouldn't fit any longer (and this was in the dead of winter, Christmas Day actually).  With DC#2 I got to 32 weeks (in July).
