Referring to adak’s Post in RT, finger size.

What was your ring size pre pregnancy and what was it after. I think a lot of women don’t realize size can change. She is having a problem with her eternity band.
My finger was 7.25 originally and 8 after 4 kids.
How much bigger would you get an eternity prepregnancy considering your ering would hold it in place? I got mine much later but I would probably go up 1/2 to a full size.

I wore my rings throughout my 2 pregnancies. My finger and body size didn't change as a result of pregnancy, but with age, my knuckles have enlarged. The finger itself is still the same size 6.5. So i get some rings in 6.5 and some in 7.

7/7. Mine didn’t change, but I only had one child... don’t know if multiples make a difference. Most of my body stayed the same.

Mine hasn't changed & I also wore my rings right through both pregnancies, with very little weight gain. I wasn't given my eternity until after number 2 was born, so no issues with further pregnancies. UK size K 1/2 (5.25).

I have found now that I'm in my 40's that my fingers are more sensitive to temp changes. This time of year in particular is a pain, as going from icy cold to indoor heat repeatedly makes my fingers burn & swell, so the only issue I have found is that 3 rings on one finger can feel choking & I flip the eternity to my RH.

I think I have gone up 1/2 size after 4 pregnancies. I could not wear my rings while I was pregnant. I tended to hold on to a lot of water.
I really could use to lose 5 lbs right now...that would probably bring it down a 1/4 size.

My ring size and dress size weren't affected by either of my two pregnancies.
My shoe size increased and didn't go down after my second pregnancy.

However, over the last couple of years (so somewhere around 57), my knuckles got a bit bigger; a bit of arthritis, probably. So even if a person never gains weight or gets pregnant, something like arthritis can affect ring size.

Exactly. So my rings on both left and right ring fingers spin frequently, especially in the colder months, but at least I know they won't fall off.
