Can't get my ring off :(

Feeling really stupid that I didn't take it off earlier now I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I can't get it off. Does anyone have tips or things that worked for you to get it off? I've tried the floss trick which didn't work for me. Thanks in advance!

  • Windex works. Or go to a jewelry store. They can usually do it.

    Mine got stuck on last pregnancy. I was actually stuck on for 2 years!
  • I'd also try some coconut/vegetable oil. Hope you get it off without too much discomfort!
  • Really the floss didn't work?! It hurt my finger but it worked soooo easily for me. I would try that again and make sure you wrap it tight and close up to the knuckle and then pull from the bottom when you're ready. But take a break from trying to get it off.... Trying can make it even more swollen. I would try the floss during or immediately after a shower.
  • I have just taken mine off today with a lot of struggle & coconut oil :( It has left a HUGE indent on my finger. I get so claustrophobic and flustered when rings get stuck. I feel so naked without it. Goodluck!!! 
  • I used my belly oil last week! Good luck!
  • I tried everything and it wont come off!! I talked to my OB about it and she looked at my hand and said is it uncomfortable? I said no and she said unless it gets uncomfortable or your finger changes color calm down about it! I guess I will stop freaking out.
  • I'm lurking from D15. If your hand is cold it will make it a little easier too. An ice pack may help.
  • I just want to say that mine was bad about 3 weeks ago. I used cling wrap-small piece as tight as I could wrap my finger. I then lotioned it up and twisted and pulled. Thought I might lose my finger lol-it hurt like a *****, but it came off!
