Hi everyone,
I had my baby boy eight months ago and I still can't wear my wedding set, I'm so frustrated and wondering if it actually will fit again or I should go ahead and get my rings re-sized? I wore them with no issue for most of my pregnancy but then suffered extremely badly with swelling in my hands and feet for the last few weeks.
I have been wearing a stand in ring as I hated not having anything on my finger, this ring is a size 6, my wedding ring is I think roughly a size 5.25 (or K in UK sizes). Since I've lost two stone over the last few months (approx 28 pounds) the size 6 is too big but my wedding ring is still too small. I can get it on but I have to push it a bit hard and if it's a hot day or I've just woken up it's tough to get it off. My engagement ring will still only go just past my knuckle
I'm still a little off my pre-pregnancy weight but not massively and wondering whether to push hard to shift the last bit of weight and then see if my rings fit or just bite the bullet and get them done now? Interestingly my feet are definitely bigger now than they were before I had my baby and the swelling has gone. My weight does generally fluctuate but this hasn't ever affected my ring size before, I have only previously noticed my rings looser when cold/wet and tighter when hot.
Just wondering if anyone had to make a similar decision or any advice?
Here are pics of my wedding ring on my finger and the stand in ring if it helps to see what the different sizes look like (I think my fingers look quite fleshy as the size 6 ring looks tight in the photo but if I shake my hand it flies up to the knuckle!)
