  I couldn't get mine on till about 8 weeks pp even though I lost all my pregnancy weight + about 10 extra pounds... I think my joints stayed swollen for quite a while.  I can wear them now though. Give it a few more weeks... don't get them sized or anything.

  You are not alone!  I can force my wedding band over my knuckle. . . but it is not comfy and I'm afraid it will get stuck.  I have a claddagh ring (Irish wedding ring) that I usually wear on the middle finger of my right hand that I am wearing as my wedding band.  Living in the heart of the Bible Belt, with a deployed husband, I feel naked without a wedding band.  )  I'm going to give it a few more months and if the rings still don't fit, I'll look into getting them resized.  I sure hope that they fit soon though. (I, too, have lost all my baby weight and five pounds.  Darn swollen joints!)

  I refuse to wear my rings --- I wash my hands like 60 times a day; I am forgetful; and I don't want to scratch L with my rings.

  It was about 6 weeks before I could get my rings back on.

  I know you are not going to want to hear this........but at 6 months pp (Yes....SIX......), we had to get my rings resized I was almost back to my pre-pg weight at that time and I tried all the time to get them to fit and it never worked

  It will be interesting to see what happens this time.......I'm already betting that they will have to be resized again

  I'm 3 weeks pp and I've only put mine on once- I got them on fine but at teh end of the day had some trouble getting them off so I'm waiting a little longer.I think some swelling is still there even though I can't see it b/c I still have carpal tunnel symptoms, although they're getting better. Hopefully your rings will fit better with time!

  It took me a while to wear mine again, I know I couldn't wear them for 10 weeks, and I think I stopped at 34w (gave birth at 38) so that would mean I got them on again (and tightly) at around 6weeks post birth.
  

  Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
