Rings or no rings

A37licia · August 2013

What's the status of your wedding rings?

revlaurawittman · August 2013

I took mine off a while ago and have been wearing them on a necklace. I can still get them on but the metal has been bothering me since I've been pregnant. I really miss wearing them!!!

blonde151188 · August 2013

I haven't been able to wear mine for a year now.

I want to get them resized, but DH is convinced they'll fit when I lose weight. I think my fingers have just gotten bigger.

Oddly enough, the only time I had trouble getting them on was last weekend when it was in the very low 70s all weekend.

I voted SS because I had to take off my wedding band a few weeks ago but my engagement ring and the ring I wear on my right hand are still fine to wear.

ilovetolaugh · August 2013

Engagement/wedding ring are off. I got a knock off. I hate not wearing my rings

This exactly! We are ring twins. Wondertwins, unite!

OpheliaChem · August 2013

While on summer break, I only wear the wedding ring if I leave the house (and remember to put it on). Once school starts I might try to wear the wedding and engagement rings seeing as how my room is like a walk-in freezer. The wedding ring isn't the problem - its the engagement ring. It gets tight and annoying. So I will probably ditch the diamond at some point and just stick to the wedding band.

DaniB091 · August 2013

I think I can still take them on and off for the most part, but I've had them off for a couple weeks. When it is hot or I've been on my feet for awhile, they are harder to get off, so I decided to just leave them off for now.

Shanmarie1083 · August 2013

I took them off about 2 months ago when they started getting tight and painful. I can't even get them past the knuckle now, which makes me worried I may need to get them resized even after the baby gets here.

I wear them as a necklace now. I hate not having my rings on my finger though, and I'm always afraid the chain will break and I will lose them.

LiveNLove44 · August 2013

I'm SS because I don't wear my wedding ring when I'm home all day or working out, but if I'm out around town or working, I'll wear it. It still fits fine, but when I work out, my swelling makes it wildly uncomfortable, and when I'm working around the house, I swell if I'm up and busy. I hate the feeling of a swollen finger wearing a ring, so I just don't put it on unless I'm headed out. I do love wearing it, so I am looking forward to this swelling situation to go away!

bumpuser9130703 · August 2013

I just took my wedding rings off a few days ago. I put them on a bracelet that I wear every day. I did not put anything else on my finger. The claddagh ring I've worn on my right hand for even longer than my wedding rings is still good, so I'm still wearing it.

ETA: And I hate it. I never, ever take my rings off (sleep, working out, home, out, shower, always on). I keep freaking out thinking I lost them.

llybeck · August 2013

I said I take it on and off each day but it doesn't really fit. I can get my ring past the knuckle but that's about it, I just keep it right below the knuckle because it won't fit beyond that but the knuckle keeps it from coming off. I just got my engagement ring though so I want to be able to wear it at least for a while!!! I will probably have to put it on a chain soon.

Jilly82 · August 2013

Still wearing mine. I don't have any swelling which is weird because its been so hot out!

MamaInMN · August 2013

I've always taken mine off at night (I have no idea if most people do that...) because I don't like sleeping with them on. So far, they are still coming off easily. They've only been uncomfortable during a few work outs. I think I'd feel pretty naked without them...

AppleMuffins · August 2013

Most days I just wear my wedding band because that's a little bigger. My engagement ring gets tight on hot days so I'll skip putting it on. I always take them off at night because otherwise my skin gets irritated. My right hand ring fits ok still. It's a little tight, but not bad. I haven't had any majorly noticeable swelling. I can just tell a little when my shoes or rings are a bit tighter, Can't tell by looking.

slindsey7 · August 2013

My engagement ring is definitely tighter but can take it off most days. Every so often it doesn't want to come off

ksf13 · August 2013

I never take mine off, but thankfully they still come off very easily. My feet are EXTREMELY swollen tonight though :P

CutieBean79 · August 2013

I may be jinxing myself, but I haven't had any swelling with DD or this pregnancy. I have every other ailment so I guess this is a little consolation prize.

redfallon · August 2013

I voted SS. I've been wearing mine just fine until a week ago. I can still wear the wedding band fine, because it was MIL's ring and big on me at a size 6, but we never got it sized down. The engagement ring is sized about a 4.5 to fit me, and it just now got to where it's kind of hard to put on, so I've had it off the last few days and just wearing the band.

chois · August 2013

I took my engagement ring off a few weeks ago, but I'm still wearing my wedding ring. The two rings I wear on my right hand both came off a couple weeks ago too.

devilglrk7 · August 2013

Mine came off about a month or so ago, I don't have anything in their place. I miss wearing my wedding band and my hand feels naked.

TKtravels · August 2013

I'm a special snowflake.

The weather down here has been alternating from disgustingly hot and humid to a reasonable 75 degrees or so.

On days when it is hot, I take my ring off before I leave the house.

On days when the weather is more acceptable, I can keep it on.. although it does feel much tighter than it used to. I can still get it off easily though.

mello13 · August 2013

I took them off two days ago after the swelling made them uncomfortable. I am wearing an alternate sapphire ring that is a size larger.

Heffafish · August 2013

I only just took mine off on Saturday when I finished up at work!!

Bubble106 · August 2013

My wedding band still fits but my engagement ring started bothering me about 20 weeks. I wear my wedding band and another ring I usually wear on my right finger, it was my DH's present to me on our honeymoon. I will hang in there till they get too tight..so far they only get tight in the evening.

smlowe9311 · August 2013

I took mine off about a month a go and could probably force them back on if I tried but when we were trying on wedding bands I put my engagement ring on my right hand to try on with a ring in the store and it almost got stuck. I know you can have it cut off if need be and they can then fix it back together but I don't like the idea of having my ring cut so I've just been wearing it on a necklace since then. That's one of the things I'm most looking forward to: wearing them again when LO is here!

jdebaie · August 2013

Had to have mine cut off!

sugarkissed · August 2013

I took them off a couple of weeks ago. I bought a ridiculous fake blingy one from Walmart to wear so that I don't feel naked. They didn't have much for options. Haha.

katiebenes · August 2013

SS for me. I took mine off, got a replacement ring (the ONE ring. LOTR! ftw) but now I've out-swollen that ring as well on most days.

Luckymomma4 · August 2013

I can still wear mine but I lately I only wear them if I'm going somewhere. They just feel uncomfortable on right now.

I took mine off weeks ago and where my Claddagh ring on my left hand vs my right. I can still technically put on and take off my rings but my finger seems to swell once I put them on so I just keep them off.

I am doing the same thing with my Claddaugh. DH got it for me before we got engaged, and it was always a bit big. Now it fits perfect.

strlitemiss · August 2013

I lost my wedding ring 3 hours after our wedding, I jumped into the river and my ring slipped off. We're currently in the process of paying off my new one!

sapphire0228 · August 2013

I took them off when we were in the keys. My fingers always have swelled when it's hot. But for the most part I'm in the a/c so I can keep them on. I would hate not wearing them.

JamieWM · August 2013

42% can still wear them? Gtfo there is now way! Mine have been off since May and I am in a size 9 from my usual 7...so scared they won't fit again

kje120 · August 2013

I had some swelling in my hands last week when we were in the mountains, but normally I have no issues getting them on and off.

msronzio · August 2013

I squeezed one back on for the shower, and luckily I was able to get it off hours later.. But it's been months lol. MIL loaned me a family engagement ring a few years ago and it never really fit, I bet it would now.. if only I could find it!!!

achadwick19 · August 2013

I still wear my rings (and take them on and off), but the last couple days my fingers keep swelling up insane so I might have to be ring-less soon.

jchytil · August 2013

Still wearing mine but think they may just be stuck. With my son I could not wear them from 30 weeks on.

PrettyInPearls23 · August 2013

I'm shocked I'm still wearing mine as normal. By the time I was 25 weeks with DS I was so swollen I had to wear a fake set. I love my rings, so I'm thrilled I can still wear them!
