Fake wedding ring or no ring?

mel72 · February 2009

17 weeks and it's getting tighter! Will you or did you get a fake ring or just wear nothing? Thanks : )

I went without. We did get odd looks because DH wore a ring but so be it. It probably also did not help that I was 23 and DH was 28 but looks older.

Personally, if that happens to me I'll do a fake ring.

Mel72... we are due the same week. Yay! I am going to get a fake band when mine get tight. Right now if I drink enough water during the day, I can wear both rings. During the week I don't wear my engagement ring because I do surgery and the two rings hurt under my gloves. But I am looking for a cheap one to wear. I usually don't wear a ring to the gym, but now I feel like people look to see if I am wearing one!

I just went without. I think I stopped wearing my ring around 30 weeks.

I havent been able to wear mine since b4 xmas - no matter how much water I drink my hands still swell throughout the day and I didnt want to get them on one morning and then not be able to get them off at night. I aske DH for a fake one for xmas - but he obviously didnt hear me - so sometimes I wear a simple band that my mom lent me but most of the time I go without. I miss my wedding rings though.

I took off my Ering and wore my wedding band, it still fit alone. Try that?

I think mine is tight early because I have three soldered together - engagement, wedding and 1st yr. anniversary (not part of a set). Either that or I'm just huge LOL

Mine still come on and off right now, but if I have to remove them, I'll get cheapy fake one. Like pp, it's more for me though. I'm so used to the feel of them that I freak out when I'm not wearing them.

My e-ring was at the store last month to fix the loose stone and I had a panic moment at least once a day thinking I had lost it!

Mine came off at 21 weeks

I've gone without but I do wonder if people think I'm having this child out of wedlock. A fake is a great idea, but I don't feel like spending money on it.

Fortunately at least at the moment I can still wear my rings. If I get to the point where they won't fit.....I'll just go without.

I plan on just getting a band. My rings are just now starting to get a little tight in the afternoon, so I think I'm not far off.

I love my wedding ring. I hate the thought of not being able to wear it.

I don't wear my ring if I think it's going to be warm out - because it is so much tighter on warm days. No biggie - I'll wear it again after the babies are born. It doesn't make me feel less married.

In the last few weeks, my rings have gotten too puffy to wear more than my e-ring (the weddings bands cannot be worn alone - not built for that). But, I went and bought a bigger fake ring (and it is OBNOXIOUS!) and I love it. It's fun to have something so gaudy that is very comfy to wear. FYI, I got the new ring at Nordstrom Rack for $13 - and as obnoxious as it is, it doesn't really look fake (mostly).
