Let's talk wedding rings.

[ace226]

Do you fit back in yours yet?

At what point should resizing be considered? I know I'm the latest F15 baby as far as I know (march 9th baby! 11 days overdue!) but, curious to see what everyone else is doing with this!!

[misshart00]

I think I put mine back on about a week after getting home from the hospital. But I never had much swelling in my hands.

[greenpony33]

I also have been wearing mine, but I have noticed that it is snug to put on and sometimes I have to put lotion on first (Idon't sleep with it on because DH has been scratched with it beforw, it has pokey corners). I do not think I would consider resizing yet but I don't know when would be best to make that decision

My engagement ring fits but my band is tight. I'm waiting until I lose another 10 lbs to see if it makes a difference. We're also entering hot and sweaty season so I'd probably wait until fall to do anything anyway. I didn't have this problem with DD1. Hmmm.

This is my exact situation as well.

[magsame]

I haven't been able to wear mine since last Oct. I keep trying everyday but they still don't fit

[kartish]

I shoved mine back on my finger after a month pp. It was a mistake and I couldn't get them back off for like two or three weeks. But now they are a little tight but I can get them on and off.

[GeekBeagle]

Mine have fit for a while. Granted, I got mine resized at the end of September. They were so tight at that point that the jeweler spent a solid 5 minutes prying my wedding band off my finger. My rings had been a little snug prior to getting pregnant, but I had been set on losing weight to make them fit properly again. Obviously that didn't happen. By the end of my pregnancy I was only wearing my engagement ring because it was too tight to wear both.

[flyster]

I have bug knuckles so they were a bit loose before anyway
It took about 2 months for me to get them back on and they are a tad tighter than they were before

[cougarette]

I put them on about 2 weeks pp. I only took them off around 2 weeks out, though.

[maryxc1]

I haven't tried mine in a couple weeks, but at like 8 weeks PP they still didn't fit. I am still 15 lbs over but feel like my fingers are a normal size. I'm thinking 6 months to a year before I get them resized because I don't want them to then be too big.

[lotsofdotts]

I'm ready to dodge internet stones here, but I only took mine off in triage when I was in labor. I had terrible swelling with my first two pregnancies but not with this one. My husband made me take them off just in case I got an IV and started swelling from the fluids.

I'm going to duck now as the rest of you lob stones at me.

[RedGiant]

I didn't swell noticeably while pregnant, so I put them on when I got home from the hospital. I will be hiding from rocks over by lotsofdotts

[firelizard8367]

Mine is still tighter than it was before, but I can take it on and off with no major issues. It does leave a pretty good imprint on my finger and can feel uncomfortable after a bit. I am mostly not wearing it still. I have a lot of weight to loose still so I haven't put any thought into resizing.

[lilyelayne]

Add me to the hiding from rocks group.

I took mine off when I was admitted to L&D. I think I put them back on at 4 days pp.

[mmarie]

I also took off my engagement ring off just for the delivery. putting it back on was the second thing I did after she was out. Eating was the first thing after new baby snuggles!

[aggiebug]

I really never had them not fit. I didn't sleep until post partum and that was just minor swelling in my ankles.

I would say at 8weeks the swelling should be gone but it depends on where you are weight wise. I know some people lose it quickly, some don't one it until they are finished BFing and other never really lose it.

[modernfairytale8709]

I need to take cover. I never had to take mine off. Very mild swelling around 37 weeks, but nothing to prevent me wearing them. I even wore them during birth, since I gave birth out-of-hospital.
I didn't noticeably swell postpartum.

[anchovies]

I never took mine off and then, I literally couldn't take them off. DH and I tried our hardest to get them off but no such luck. I had this irrational fear they would have to be cut off

It wasn't until about 2 months pp I could take them off. I finally had the rhodium done & picked them up yesterday. They look brand new!

[mands1125]

Yep but it was only a few weeks ago

[mrsclark731]

I'm with you, ace226. I swelled like crazy and was 12 days overdue--I also gained 70lbs. I still have 20 lbs to loose and I try everyday to get my engagement ring back on (9 weeks pp). I can get on my band but it is tight.

I just ordered a band in a bigger size from QVC. I'm waiting until the end of the summer before I decide to re-size.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I don't know that mine ever didn't fit , I got nervous that it would stop fitting and stopped wearing it. (I've had to cut a ring off before)
I remembered to put them back on a week or so after ds was born and they fit

[dacora]

Mine still doesn't fit, I'm going to get it resized when I take it in for the six month warranty inspection. I'm still heavier than I was pre pregnancy but I know myself and I don't really exercise. I also don't have any swelling in my hands and I want to wear my wedding set again dammit.

[cloe111479]

Keep rocks away here too.

I took mine off around 24 weeks? ( but we were out in the heat is Disney world). It was maybe 3-4 days postpartum that I could get them back on. Now 11 wks later they fit like they did pre-preg.

[junebugjam]

I slipped down a few stairs in early December and hurt my ring & middle fingers trying to catch myself. Took my rings off right after I fell for fear of my fingers swelling (good call by me) and couldn't get them past my knuckle for the rest of the pregnancy.

I can get them on now (11 weeks pp) and have been able too for a week or so, but I only wear my band. It's too tight with my engagement ring also. But I also weighed about 35 pounds less when I got married, too. I'm hoping to lose at least 15 more pounds (baby weight plus some) to avoid resizing.

[seamonster]

I could put them on when I came home from the hospital. I stopped wearing them around week 37 for swelling in my hands.

[dreemkin]

OP I haven't worn mine since my first pregnancy. I gained way more weight than I wanted too and didn't get it all off before this pregnancy. I have a goal weight now though so I'm hoping to get back into them at the latest September. Resizing makes me nervous for some reason (not that I have a huge diamond but it's a really good quality one).

[dreemkin]

PS: Having two kids in two years messed with my body yo.

[Deleted]

I was able to get mine on a few weeks pp, maybe 2? I tried it when I got home from the hospital but I was still too swollen by then. So I waited a few weeks and tried again and it fit (I only wear my wedding band).
If it helps, OP, mine is one of the last babies also (Mars 7).

[WittyLittle]

Uhm.... I'd forgotten about mine and now i can't find where it is... Well shit... :/

[hollydfromtn]

I took mine off around 34 weeks for fear off swelling but I don't think I really needed to. I had a little swelling afterwards so it took me about 3 weeks pp I think for them to fit again. It felt like my knuckle had actually gotten bigger, not my entire finger. It was really weird. Now I just wear my band because I scratched DS with my engagement ring early on and it made me feel so bad.
