wedding ring still not fitting after pregnancy/birth

[HotI]

i had really swollen hands when i was pregnant and couldn't wear my rings from around 16 weeks. Since the birth, i have lost pretty much all of my swelling but i still cant get my rings over my knuckle. Anybody else had this problem? Will it improve or do i need to resize my rings?

My hands didn't swell a great deal, but even now my engagement ring is still tight to get on. Same with my watch, I've had to go up to the next hole on the band because it was so tight on my wrist!

I would give it a little while before you decide to resize.
Sorry if this is a personal/rude question..did you put on extra weight other than baby during pregnancy? If so, this may take a little time to come off.
I also had a friend who had swelling in her joints during pregnancy, so this could also be it and may take a little time to settle down.
I was able to put my rings back on comfortably around the 2mth mark.
Our bodies do funny things during pregnancy, it sometimes just takes time to get back to where we want to it to be if it get's there at all

I'm having a similar problem- and my DS2 is almost 4 months old. Although i can actually now get it on my finger along with my eternity and engagement rings- but all 3 together i'm finding are irritating my finger (cause i think they are a fraction to tight still) so i've now had to wear them on my right hand. I'm hoping it improves soon as it feels strange wearing them on the wrong finger (well it does for me).

So maybe give it another month or 2- as it was only a few weeks ago i was to actually able to get them on finger.

I wasn't able to get my rings on til about 3 and a 1/2 months after DDs birth. I was constantly trying, and like you, couldn't get them over my knuckles. Finally one day I got them on, but then really struggled to get them off! So give it a bit of time hun until you decide to do anything x

It took nearly 8 months for my riings to fit back on this time. And I weighed less and put on less weight this time than last time ( last time I never had to take them off) it just depends.

I hope they fit again soon.

Thanks, it's nice to know i'm not the only one. Looks like i might wait a few more months before deciding what to do.

I thought for sure I was going to have to get my engagement ring resized but I think a bit over a year ago I was able to put my ring back on. Maybe when she was about 8ish months. I think once I lost the extra baby weight I was right I lost the weight quite slowly, so it may happen quicker for others

When preg with DS1 I had to take rings off at about 16 weeks. When he was 12 weeks old I actually got my rings re sized. I didn't need to take them off when preg with DS2, and now they are able to spin around on there own but not fall off.

After i had DS (nearly 12 months ago), my engagement ring never fit me....i stopped wearing it, but when baby was 5 months old, i went and got it re-sized...it fits great now. I read somewhere that pregnancy/kids does make your hands bigger ?? Dunno the truth in that...but i got 4 sizes up (which is a lot), cost me $80 just for re-sizing..i was worried my fingers would 'go back to normal', but like i said, 12 months on, and it still fits fine....
