... To keep my wedding bands close to me, or how to take some of the swelling down. I want to wear my wedding band and engagement ring, but they just fit too snug. I'm afraid that I may not be able to get them off if I put them on my fingers.
Not being able to wear them is really upsetting to me, though.
Any suggestions on how I can display them, other than on my fingers?

Swelling is common during pregnancy. Make sure you drink plenty of water, walk and cut way back on your salt intake. That means cutting back on fast foods. This will really help. Put your wedding ring away in a safe place. You have a tendency to swell more at night, so I suggest take it off when you go to bed.

I'm 30 weeks and haven't been able to wear my wedding band for almost a month! Like you, I hate not wearing it...so I actually went to Target and bought a "fake" wedding ring...I just got a cheap, plain band (for like $10) but in a bigger size. I wear that now. I'm not fond of wearing necklaces so putting my rings on a necklace was out...but this has seemed to work fine.
After the baby I'll put on my real wedding ring, but for now the fake one fits perfect :)

Sorry to hear about the swelling but congrats for you and yours!
Can you put them on a different finger? If not you can always sting them or put them on a chain and wear them around your neck.
As for the swelling on you on your feet a lot? Try and take it easy for this last stretch. Get as much rest and relaxation as you can before the little one arrives. Hope it gets better and good luck .

You could wear your rings on a sturdy necklace ...thats what I had to do with my 1st pregnancy. Also soaking your hands in Epsom salts may help reduce the swelling. Also this could be a sign of high blood pressure so make sure your pressure is where it should be. Congrats on the baby!

Toward the end of your pregnancy your finger and ankles do tend to swell or at least mine did...especially in warmer weather...try wearing your rings on a necklace...if the chain is long enough the rings would lay close to your heart.

Well you can keep your rings on a necklas around your neck.
However swelling during pregnancy can be a sign of serious problems, have you mentioned it to your careprovider?
Otherwise try taking a bath with epsom salts in the water. Make sure you are salting your foods to taste (NEVER limit salt during pregnancy, pregnancy is a salt-wasting condition), drink water to thirst, and try to get 100g of protein or more per day.

this swelling of your finger might be the very early sign of pre ecclampsia. you need to go to your doctor and check your blood pressure and have your urine tested for protein.
you can pass a fine chain through your ring and ware it around your neck.it will be in touch of you always.
take care and best of luck for the days ahead.
