edited July 2011 in Pregnant
Well I hit 31 weeks today and this morning I go to put lotion on my belly...I go to take off my wedding ring and low and behold my fingers r now super chunky! I had to leave my wedding ring off and now have it on a chain around my neck :( I've never taken my rings off for more than 20 mins since I've been married almost 3 years ago, now needless to say I feel naked with just an indentation and a tan line :(

Who else had to remove something they r so used to having on all the time cuz pregnancy says "im in charge here lady!"

  • Me :( i have to take my engagement ring of and my fiancee don't seem to understand (prob from his mum saying that she never swelled up) and says that the finger will just grow round my ring but I'm like its hurting me!!! so i took it of he not happy but i don't care lol
  • I'm 30 weeks and i had to take all my rings off yesterday....I'm not happy about it :(
  • I am only 22 weeks but had to have my wedding ring cut off last week, i tried so hard to get it off i made it swell and get sore, feels horrible tho. Also pregnancy won't let me wear anything nice i look stupid alot just so i am comfy :(
  • ill be 30 weeks friday and mine are goina have to come off soon. :( but i guess in 9 weeks or so i can put them back on lol
  • @samiuk well that's mean of her! Everyone's pregnancy is different. Who cares tho at least u can keep ur fingers lol.

    @three_cats_n_a_baby Omg that's horrible! My mom had to have her wedding band cut off when she was pregnant with me too . Her fingers got super puffy over night too lol. Hopefully they can repair the ring tho.

    @snowflake that's how I look at it too. And at least my hubby is understanding that it needed to come off. But as soon as my swelling goes down the rings r going back on :)
  • I bought a fake ring to replace my wedding set from all the swelling. Qvc makes some nice fake rings. :) I didn't want to put my set on a necklace, I was afraid if loosing it!!!
  • First pregnancy I took mine off... But put them back on again too soon after having my son and I swelled again and had to cut them off... This time though I lost do much weight in the first part of pregnancy I had to worry about my ring coming off instead lol
  • I bought a fake to wear until I can wear my real ones. I got it on overstock for 23 dollars.
  • @mrsforesee I never thought about buying a fake one. I think I might do that! Does qvc actually have rings in larger sizes without that stupid clip thingie in it, like a size 6 and up can all wear the same size rings?

    @tinka1326 I'm gonna leave mine off for a few months after I have him just in case lol. Was it morning sickness that made them too loose this time around?

    @marie0907 that's a good deal! I've never used overtook.com r they good?
  • Im going to have to switch to my pregnancy belly button bar here soon... my normal one is starting to pop out at the bottom... lol....
  • Ive had to take all my rings off and I never had to do that befor I feel so bad ,,,, my watch is even tight so I just put them up im swollen every where,,,
  • @lilbit01_209 i took out my belly buttom ring when i first found out i was pregnant. it wasnt bothering me yet but my mom would not stop pestering me until i took it out lol so anywho... everything was fine but not that my belly is sticking out alot at almost 30 weeks i feel the holes where my belly button ring use to be pull tight. the little piece of skin that goes in front of the bar is really tight. i am just waiting for it to rip in half. i hope it doesnt though.. its super sore now. just 10 more weeks. hopefully i dont split before then. have you had any pains at all with yours?

  • most days i can handle wearing my wedding ring. i have a little trouble in the morning taking it off as well before i put lotion on my belly after showering. and sometimes in the evening after i have all day to swell it gets a little tight. i am hoping i do not have to say goodbye to them. 10 more weeks left and im in the clear! sorry to hear most of you ladies had to lose the rings for now, but chin up you are almost done then back to normal - well for the most part :)
  • @newmami918 Not really... it itches a lot but not stretching too much. I have had it since 2002 so its been a while. When I had my daughter I kept my (pregnancy) bar in even in delivery... (They took it out for the c-section) Use lotion on it too. It should help a little.

    @lilbit01_209 im glad your not having any troubles with yours :) yeah, i put cocoa butter on my belly daily. its just a strange and uncomfortable feeling. i have had my done for almost 5 years now and have never had any problems with it, eh oh well.. a ripped belly button is well worth my baby girl :) just add it to the wonderful list of pregnancy excitment.
  • @mrsforsee lol my engagement ring is from the Q and I got soo many compliments on it. I actually used to work for them (customer service) lol

    I've already given my husband a heads up that I may(will lol) have to take my wedding ring off soon. But I know from when I was pregnant with my 3 yr old my engagement ring fits better(its big on me)
  • Most of their rings ate sizes 6-10. Once in a while they'll be in a 11. I haven't seen any wedding style Ines that are one size fits most. I liked the fact they have real jewelry designers now and can get a ring made with 14kt. Gold and not just some cheap nickel that makes your finger green. :) they also come in Sterling silver and platinum plated. The quality if the fake diamond is realy nice!! Way better than any other cubic zirconium types I've seen. ;)
  • @mrs_shu Diamonique is AMAZING!! :) No one really can tell!!
  • @mrsforesee and diamonique is guaranteed..not the ring itself but the stone ;) of course the process is beyond PITA
    *sigh* I really miss having an employee discount lol
  • I couldnt put on my wedding set at 25 weeks n im sad :( I love my ring set n I feel naked without it also.
  • I'm 32 weeks and have no swelling. My wedding ring, and other rings, comes on and off like usual. Should I be worried about it happening soon?
  • @Shanlam - I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and had to take my rings off about 3 weeks ago. Dr. flat out told me take them off or i will be cutting them off. :'( But you may get lucky and not have to, everyone is dif. just depends on your weight and swelling.
  • I've been without my wedding rings for like 3 weeks, I'm 33 weeks. It sucks! I went to dillards and they have a nice fake set for 20 dollars...I think I'm gonna get them cause I feel weird without them. I also don't fit into any of my shoes! I was a 7.5 and now I'm an 8 or 8.5! Its a combination of swelling and foot growth. And they say its permanent! I'm sooo bumbed out cuz I have like 100 pairs of shoes that don't fit!
  • My clothes but I don't mind cuz its so hot
  • my engagement ring is the same way! i think i am going to go get it resized so that i can continue to wear it because we dont get married for another year :( and i feel naked without it too :( and i hate the tan line now too!!!!
  • @Kingsmama, sorry it took so long to respond, pregly hasnt been loading on my phone. It has been driving me crazy.
    Anyways, yes, overstock is great. I have used them for lots of things but their jewelry is great as well. This ring I got is good quality and very pretty. Will definitely do as a temporary until I can wear my real rings.
  • Had to take off my engagement ring going to be 30 weeks on Saturday.. I feel so naked but I just put it on my necklace til I give birth to my little boy
