Engagement ring

Hi

I recognise that everyone is different but just curious how many weeks pregnant were you when you had to take off your engagement/wedding ring?
I’m currently 14 weeks and it’s ok for now, but I’m petrified of waking up one morning and it’s stuck and I have to have it cut off 🙈 I’m going to get a cheap temporary ring from Argos or somewhere, but not sure when to go looking!

Thanks x

First pregnancy not at all, second pregnancy at around 36 weeks. Now 3 weeks PP and I can get them back on again. The worst swelling was after the c-section. Also gained a bit more weight this time and it’s not disappearing like it did last time either. Sad

First pregnancy I was able to wear my ring for about a week after getting engaged (8/9 weeks pregnant) before it got too tight however we did later fing out that the jeweler had given dh a size too small so that didn't help.
Second pregnancy I could get my rings on but they were snug so I didn't bother plus it was very hot so my hands were swelling.

I took my wedding and engagement rings off at about 37 weeks and then I put my engagement ring back on again a few weeks pp. My wedding ring is a smaller size and I didn't fit that back on until 7 months pp.
