Reviving this...so how are everyone's rings fitting? I think I'm just going to get mine resized, 11 weeks pp, they are too snug.
I was able to finally wear mine at 11 weeks and they were a tad snug. By 13 weeks, they fit much better. I wouldn't recommend to get them resized yet. Sometimes, it can take up to 6 months for them to fit.
That makes me feel better. I have three that not only do not fit, but look tiny! I can't believe they ever did fit!

Ok, you're probably right. I'm just getting impatient lol! And I just miss wearing them!
Mine are still too tight too! I miss wearing them. We're going to be in Raleigh next month for a concert and are planning on going by the store we got them and having them resized. My wedding ring was a bit snug to start with before pregnancy.
My husband got me a new ring when baby was born (push gift ahah) and he took one size bigger than my usual size, I thought it was smart, well it is really loose and I catch it wanting to escapr my finger regularly !!! But I will wait a while before thinking about resizing...
My rings got stuck on my finger when I was pregnant with my daughter. My knuckles grew and they wouldn't go past. Finally a few months before I got pregnant this last time my hands finally shrunk enough for me to get them off. So I had my rings re-sized. Then immediately after this pregnancy my hands shrunk way back down and my rings are falling off! It's so weird. But the first time it took 3 years for my knuckles to shrink enough to get my rings past.
I finally got mine on again at 9 weeks pp and they're a little snug but I can get them on and off with some jiggling. I'm hoping as I continue to lose the baby weight that they'll loosen up a little but I'm so happy to be able to wear them again!

I lost all the weight but my knuckles grew! At least they were stuck on and not off. Now they are loose! I can't win.
@pontot31 this is exactly what happened to me. the rings are tight going over my knuckles! It's like they grew...I hadn't heard of this before
My feet grew after my first pregnancy so it's not out of the question that my hands did too. Strangely my feet and hands shrunk some after this pregnancy!
I work as a jeweler and see this issue a lot. We typically tell new moms that it can take a year for your knuckles to shrink back to where they were prepregnancy.
Also, consider your future family plans. Try to avoid sizing your rings up and down with every baby, as it can compromise the security of stones set into the band.
I know it's super annoying to be ring-less but sometimes patience is the best way to go.
