2nd Trimester

still got your rings on?

I am getting close to having to put mine away. :( It was right around 22 weeks last time. I sure do miss them when they are not on my finger.

Re: still got your rings on?

  • I had to put mine away last time around 20 weeks, as of right now they are a tad snug in the mornings, but fine as the day goes on

  • I now take mine off to sleep - but, I can wear them during the day - I seem to swell more at night...
  • Mine are still on, although I am afraid they will have to go at some point.  I think I will be able to extend the life of my engagement ring by wearing it alone without the wedding band (since I don't have them soldered together).  I have skinny fingers compared to the rest of my body (sz 5 3/4) so I may just size up to a 6 or 6 1/4 so I don't have to give them up  :o)
  • I'm right at 17 weeks and I guess its because its so cold down here lately but mine are actually falling off!! I'm having the opposite from what should happen, happen...
  • ha! I had to put my down around 10 weeks! I wear my band around my neck :)
  • They're on right now but most days I take them off 1/2 way into the day.  I never sleep with them on though so as soon as I get home from work the rings come right off and dont go back on until the morning.
  • Today is my first day without them. I was wearing just my wedding band for the past couple of weeks because I couldn't wear both the engagement ring and wedding band, and now even it's too tight. I guess I can say I made it to 24 weeks before having to say goodbye.

  • I took mine off this morning & am concerned I won't be able to get them back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My hands are so swollen I can barely clench a fist!
  • I can still wear mine comfortably but I feel them getting tighter. I bought a fake set that's a little bigger in prep for the days when I cant wear them anymore
  • Mine still fit good most of the time, (at 22 weeks)  but I need to get them cleaned and sent off for some touch ups so Ill do that as soon as they stop fitting 
  • Mine still fit like normal but I think that may be in part due to the cold weather.
  • I havent had any problems with mine not fitting.  I hope I dont I would feel naked without them.

  • My engagement ring is half a size smaller than my wedding ring.  When we got married, the jeweler insisted that I do it this way, and I love him for it.  I don't wear my engagement ring all the time because it is a high setting and on the larger size, so I am always nervous to have it on.  I wore it yesterday to church and it was tight.  I can still wear it but I certainly had a red line when I took it off.  My wedding ring still fits fabulously.

  • I'm about 21 weeks and had to take them off a couple of weeks ago. It feels really strange not to have anything on my hand, so I bought a cheap (but pretty) "place holder" online. It should be coming in the mail today!
  • So far I've been lucky to have no swelling so mine still fit like they always did.  We'll see how long that lasts.

  • Actually because I ahve lost so much weight I was talking with DH the other day that I am worried they are going to catch on something at work and fall off. I have a feeling I am going to be able to wear them the whole PG. Thank god. I feel naked w/o them.
  • Last time I retired mine at around 30w.  The last time I wore them was to my baby shower :)

    This time I still have plenty of room so I think they should be ok for awhile.  I'm defiinitely crediting the colder weather.

  • Mine still fit fine.  I wore mine until 32 weeks last time.  I seem to think I'll be able to wear them longer this time around since I won't be pregnant in the summer.  We shall see.  If not, I still have my Claire's eternity "diamond" ring;-)

  • Still on.  Hoping I can make it a lot longer with them.  In the AM's they're a little tight, but right now they're fine.  I would definitely feel naked without them!

  • Yep! Thankfully I haven't had any swelling yet ... but, I do think my feet are getting bigger Indifferent
  • Nope. Took mine off like 2 weeks ago, I think. I swell at night, just said forget it and kept them off. I dont remember when i stopped wearing them with DD. I dont think I was this early.

    I did this same exact thing. My husband wanted me too anyway before for traveling. to keep the "real" ones at home and just travel with a fake set. but at least be wearing something. :)

  • Yep.  Last time I wore them up until 36 weeks or so; I hated taking them off, and I couldn't wear them for a while afterward either.  :(
  • Still on. I wore them until the end last time. We'll see how the twins treat me this time!
  • I'm still wearing them and my last pregnancy I kept my rings on the entire pregnancy.  I am hoping this pregnancy is a repeat.
  • I haven't noticed a change in how tight they are... yet.

  • Mine are still on and a bit loose.  They always get loose in the winter.  I think it's because it's cold.  In fact, I usually have to take them off at work when I'm typing a lot because they spin around -- not because they're tight!
  • My hands are sooo swollen.  I had to give up my rings right after Christmas, so about 20 weeks.  I went to the mall and got a $10 replacement from Claire's that's been working just fine.  I feel naked w/o wearing my rings.  I'll take my original rings with me to the hospital though.  I can't wait to wear them again.

  • Mine still fits as usual. I haven't had any swelling in my hands to date but do get swelling in my feet n most of my shoes don't fit anymore Sad

     

  • My hands started to swell a bit around 22 weeks, but I'm still wearing my rings easily. So don't give up hope :D
