When, if at all, did your rings stop fitting?

My wedding ring is fine but my engagement ring is getting a bit tight - am 33 weeks and love wearing my ring. Do yours still fit? I don't like things round my neck so having mine on a chain no good.

Never needed to take mine off. Started to leave them off at night when I remembered around 30 weeks as I read some horror of someone waking up with swolen fingers and having to get then cut off but thankfully never happened!

Mine came off just a few weeks ago - at 35weeks...Although I did notice how tight it looked from 33weeks or something...

I felt very sad but it didnt look very attractive with swollen finger and didnt look comfortable.
Hopefully will be able to wear it again soon after the birth....

Never but I am lucky. 38 weeks and no fluid retention as yet....

I'm 23 weeks and my engagement ring came off about 2 weeks ago - it was practically falling off my finger pre-pg but I am water retention central over here. Wedding ring still on....just.

I'm 40+4 today :( and still wearing both wedding and engagement rings.

About 29 weeks. Although I'm sure it's a combination of swelling and chocolate overload.

About 32 weeks I think. They were okay but I take them off a lot to put on handcream and it was getting harder and harder and I didn't want to have them cut off. I only got married in July so I miss them!

I just keep wearing chunky costume jewellery rings now as they tend to be bigger and wouldn't be terrible to be cut off.

Had to wave goodbye to my engagement ring at around 6.5 months. And the wedding ring at 7.5 months.

I was so so sad about it. And wailed over it for ages. DH was at a loss to understand the issue - he thought I was just after more/new jewellery Grin

I was so obsessed that I desperately tried to ram my wedding ring back on (with olive oil as lubricant) during labour (the at home part) in between contractions. As I didn't want to give birth without them on Hmm

Looking back I was being totally ridiculous about it.

And wedding ring was back on a week to day the after DDs arrival. Engagement ring took about 7 weeks to fit.

And I put on a lot of weight so others may not have as much time without them
