I gave up on my rings about a month ago. I noticed they were starting to get uncomfortable and I didn't want to take any chances on them getting stuck. I can still slip them on, but I'm afraid to leave them on for long.
I'm hoping I can squeeze them back on for maternity pics!
I WAS wearing mine up until a few days ago I was so hoping to be able to wear them the whole pregnancy...but I guess wearing them up until full term isn't too shabby..
Last week I noticed that both my rings were getting hard to take off at night, so I took them off for good. They're platinum and really hard to cut off so I didn't want to take any chances!

I tested taking my rings off this weekend & they still come off fine, so I'm continuing to wear them
granted the weather is getting cooler & cooler here (winter is coming) so I may be able to wear them up to the date as long as they don't get too fat:)
I'm really jealous of all of you... I made it to the middle of month 5 before I gave up. I'd rather not wear them than take the chance that they'd have to be cut off. I bought a $35 ring at a jewelry party that looks like an engagement ring to wear as a substitute for now.
I had to take my wedding band off last night.Getting a little too tight to take on and off my finger so I figure we'll just leave the band off for a little bit and see what happens.
I have been lucky as well. I wore them throughout my pregnancy with DS and have this time as well. I do take them off at night, but first thing in the am put them right back on.
35 weeks....still wearing mine. At night they are kind of snug. But other then that I can wear them.. Thank goodness, cause they are so beautiful. I would miss them terribly.

Mine came off around 32 weeks, they still fit, but were getting pretty snug. The swelling really set in at 35 weeks though and I don't think I could get them back on at this point.
I'm still wearing my set in public and I wouldn't say they are uncomfortable exactly . . . but I do take them off as soon as I get home. I definitely can't sleep in them anymore.
This is the one thing I'm looking forward to once LO gets here. I can't wait to wear my wedding rings again. They got tight around 6 months and I haven't been able to wear them since.
I'm still wearing my engagement ring and band together. I do sometimes I have to remove them during the day if it gets too warm or even I'm very active - then my fingers really swell. Otherwise I put them on in the am and dont take them off until I get home from work.
Stopped wearing my wedding band and engagement ring back at 32 weeks. I was diagnosed at that time with carpal tunnel syndrome, and even though they still fit then, I didn't want to take any chances. I'm wearing a band that's one size bigger - some days it's harder to take off than others, but I can always manage to get them off every night.

i can wear them for the most part, but i get nervous that they'll get stuck, so i take them off at night. also, i teach cooking classes, so when i wear gloves i have to take them of because my hands get all hot and sweaty! so i've just been wearing them on a necklace when i work.
I cant believe that most can still wear them! I had to take mine off at around 21 weeks or so.. my hands started swelling and the Dr. told me not to put them on again... my hands still swell and now my feet have started swelling for the past few weeks... I wish I would be able to wear my rings for my pregnancy pictures but oh well.

My engagement ring is a half size smaller than my wedding ring. I wore my e-ring for Easter and that was it. It is just too tight. My wedding band still fits well. I tend to swell when I exercise, so I don't where it then and I don't wear it at night to give my finger a rest.

Still wearing mine so far! I haven't tried to take it off in a few days, though, and think I should probably do that. I would hate to have them cut off.
I'm still wearing mine. They're actually looser now than they were when DH and I got married. I lost 30 lbs pp. I have to wear a ring a size smaller in front so my wedding rings don't fall off.

I have my wedding band on still.
My e-ring still fits, but I don't wear it everyday...and haven't since we got married. I don't like wearing 2 rings at once.
