Rings

Just wondering if anyone else still cannot wear their rings.  I can only wear my wedding band, but that is because it was a little loose when I got it.  I usually wear my engagment ring and my grandmothers ring.  I can get them on my fingers but they are very snug.  I have lost all of the weight I gained while I was pregnant, but do you think it could still be fluid?   Just curious if any of you ladies were having the same problem.

    I put mine back on even when they were snug. The first few days it was uncomfortable and i kept taking them off and putting them on throughout the day. Now they aren't uncomfortable anymore.

    I tried mine a couple of weeks ago in the evening and the morning and I couldn't get them over my knuckle without it feeling like I was cutting of the circulation in my finger. I've been wearing a swarovski crystal band my DH got me for Christmas when I was pg and it looks like I'll be wearing it for a lot longer.

    when mine got too snug during pregnancy, i bought a silver band from james avery just to have something on my finger. i can get my original ones on, but they are snug and not comfortable, so i'm still wearing the silver band. when i'm done with it, i will have her name and birthday engraved on the inside and give it to her. i plan on doing that with all my pregnancies.

    I have lost all my pregnancy weight and an additional 5lbs but my rings won't go over my knuckles.

    I also cannot put my rings on.  I think it has a lot more to do with our joints still being a little loose due to the relaxin in our last trimesters rather than weight.  I asked my doc about this at my 6 week appointment and she said that it could take up to a year for joins to return to normal.  Prior to getting pregnant my ring size was 4.5 and now I can only wear the promise ring DH got me and that is a size 5.  I also gained 81lbs and have only lost half of it so far.

    I'm hoping I can get my ring on soon.  I don't know why but I get a lot of mean glares from people when they see I have a baby, no ring, and no husband around.

    What a sweet idea!

    I still can't wear my rings but my e-ring is almost there.  I have been wearing my grandmother's wedding band since shortly after I gave birth, so I don't feel totally naked.

    I didn't even think about it being my joints.  Thanks for letting me know that.

     I love that idea about engraving the ring!
