Do you wear your wedding ring?

blessed_wife · April 2009

I gave up on wearing mine about two weeks ago because they don't fit and make my finger itch. Everyone says I should just get some cheap ring to wear for the new few months but I feel like its a waste of money. Anyone else feel the same way?

staycee · April 2009

gave up on mine at 19w. (but I had gained some weight before BFP and it was already getting borderline snug before pregnancy)

KateandEd · April 2009

I still wear mine, but even if I didn't I wouldn't buy some cheap piece of crap just to have a ring on. What would I being trying to prove and who would I be trying to impress? Single ladies have babies everyday.

Nope, I had to quit wearing both my e-ring and wedding band at about 26 weeks.

I went out and got a $5 ring at Claire's to wear when I'm out - saves me evil looks from old ladies

rommelea · April 2009

Mine still fits. When it doesn't - I plan on going to Wal Mart or Target and getting a cheap, plain band that I can wear. I just don't want the dis-approving looks I know people around here will give if I don't have one on.

ctab · April 2009

My fingers swell up too easily now so I don't wear them any more. I love my rings so it's a little depressing. I'm not going to buy a fake ring.

manda_mullins · April 2009

Mine are hardcore stuck on. I've literally tried everything to get them off.

aelyngstad · April 2009

I can wear my band still, but as of yesterday I have given up the e-ring. Even if the band didn't fit I would not buy a replacement ring.

schmapril · April 2009

If it fit I would still be wearing it. Right now I wear a cheap, fake and adjustable ring. That way, I can still pull it apart and get it off I need to, but if it breaks it doesn't matter because the ring came in a bag with about 11 others for a whopping $.99!

coachiek · April 2009

Yup, mine are off too. Probably about twice a week, I can get my band on, but my diamond is a no-go. I've had a naked finger for about 4 weeks now I think. It's sad, but it's alright...soon enough! I thought about getting a cheap one, but like you said, I figured it was kind of a waste and not really worth it.

*mrs.lyday* · April 2009

I put mine on if they fit that morning (I don't wear them to bed), but I have 3 bands and usually only 1 is comfy these days. Probably won't buy a "fake" one, since it wouldn't feel right anyways I will just go bare.

~Soleil~ · April 2009

Gave up my wedding set a while ago. Now I wear a sapphire ring DH gave my for our anniversary instead (normally wear it on my right hand).

alatham · April 2009

yeah mine doesn't fit either. i just wear it on a necklace. i've been considering buying a cheap one to wear, but then again i only have like 6 weeks to go so it might be a total waste of money.

RichInLove · April 2009

yeah, I still wear both my rings.

als33 · April 2009

not for about a month or so. i miss it, but my fatty fingers can't handle it. boo.

Chrysallys · April 2009

Yes, I do. They were loose before and my fingers are one area I haven't gained weight.

Windex? I hear this is the key.

tlcalloway · April 2009

i gave up earlier this week...still shocked that I could go as long as I did...

even though my fingers now look and feel completely naked...i'm not bothering with another ring...

truthfully, its kinda nice to not have one on...between the rings and my belly, i always feel like i was bumping into things or snagging on things...now I only have to contend with the belly...which in my mind is much smaller than it actually is...

MStason · April 2009

Mine fit great still. My SIL bought a really cute band with the babys birthstone in it and had it sized down after and wears it stacked with her wedding band now.

MidwestTexan · April 2009

I still wear my e-ring and wedding band with no issues.

DEBBIE33CASEY · April 2009

I'm still wearing mine but haven't had much/if any swelling. I also strangely noticed how differently ppl treat a 9 month preg woman who ISN"T wearing a wedding ring. When i forgot it at home one day I had not one customer mention the pregnancy and i got bad looks! When I wear it people ask/mention the pregnancy all the time. Just an observation I noticed.

DSteed-to-be · April 2009

I can still wear mine -- it's only too tight when I'm too hot, so cold water usually does the trick. If/when it does get too small in general, I have a right-hand diamond ring from DH that I can wear (it's 1/2 size larger). After that, then I think I'd just wait, though it would bother me to be ringless because I'm so used to having a ring(s) on that finger!

Pesky · April 2009

Nope. Had to give mine up early in 2nd tri this time around and I have a ring or two that could work but they are a bit big. So I don't bother. I told DH I'm too busy trying to find DH #2 with my current hot body and a ring would just scare him away.

F&G777 · April 2009

I haven't worn mine since I was 7 months...it got too tight.....I have a fake one now that I wear...i feel weird not wearing a wedding ring...

sls2063 · April 2009

Nope I had to take mine off at 28 weeks. They were too tight and leaving a big red mark on my finger. I didn't want to replace mine either because of the cost. Someone did suggest to me though to add them on to a necklace instead.

jaclynmscott · April 2009

I still wear mine..it is getting tight and itchy. I lost about 40 lbs before BFP and had it resized..great timing. I think I might get to keep it on. A co-worker bought a ring at Walmart when hers was too small..we work at a coffee shop and I swear people feel like they can say anything to us. She just got tired of the 'oh poor thing, no husband, etc' I usually just get that I look like Im 15. Wearing my rings just keeps the comments behind my back instead of to my face..haha!!

Sugar Honeybiscuits · April 2009

Yes and hopefully I'll wear it though my whole pregnancy. *crosses fingers*

Idhreniel · April 2009

I think I'm a freak because mine have become more loose since I got pregnant. I've seriously considered getting one of those ring guard things because I reach into a laundry basket and they slip off, or fall off in the middle of the night. They were never super snug before, but this is getting ridiculous. And I have small hands to begin with, lol.

rjbh · April 2009

Still wearing mine.

Caroline&Stephen · April 2009

I stopped a few months ago when it was hard to take off in the evenings. I tried to put it on the other day & it wouldn't get past my knuckle. So sad!

echildre · April 2009

I envy all of you who can still wear their rings! I miss mine terribly. I took them off last week. DH actually bought me a silver ring to wear, but my hands swell & contract so much, I can't wear that one either. I just miss wearing it. Isn't it terrible how judgemental people can be? I hadn't even thought about people wondering if I was married & pregnant or single.... People are rude. Like it matters anyway! I really wish they'd mind their own business!
