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!!

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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!
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.

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.
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!
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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).

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.
