I'm only 10w2d but I think I'm close to where I was at 16w last time! I've been pretty bloated much of this time and my rings are starting to get a big snug. If you had to stop wearing your rings, how far along were you when you stopped?

I didn't have to but Lucas was born in Feb so I didn't swell much. Then I lost a bunch of weight before getting pg with this one so now my rings are too big. I'm hoping I won't have to take them off.
I still have a couple months to go, but I've still got mine on. I'm hoping to make it all the way. (My hands swell a little at night, but as I get up and start moving around, they go back to normal)
I think I was 7 months with DS when I stopped wearing my rings. I actually went to Target and bought a fake because it was driving me crazy to not wear one (I kept panicking thinking I lost it). This time I'm not even 6 weeks and I had to break out the bella band I'm so bloated from the progesterone. I would love to get to 20 weeks before I have to take them off.

I have had terrible carpel tunnel and swelling in my hands since about 28 weeks or so. I haven't been able to wear my rings since Thanksgiving (right around 28 weeks).

Mine rings started out a bit small because I gained some weight after our loss. So I stopped wearing mine around 4 months in. I did get a pretty ring for Christmas from DH that I could wear on that finger for the rest of the pregnancy. I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and I'm definitely getting more swelling now but the ring is still fitting pretty well.

I haven't had to yet, but my rings were pretty loose to begin with because I lost a lot of weight before I got pregnant. I rarely swell in my hands, though. If it were my feet, this would be a different post, ha.

My rings intertwine so if I take the wedding band out and just wear the engagement ring it gives me a little more room. I know with my last pregnancy (14.5 weeks) I stopped wearing my wedding band at least a few weeks before my loss. I am 10 weeks now and haven't needed to take it off yet but expect to by 2nd tri.
