Swollen Finger Due to Pregnancy

Well, ok... I have such a problem... My
fingers have grown so much... My wedding
band is in my jewelry box and I bought a
cheap $50 one to wear for the time
being... Well, my engagement ring won't
even go halfway down my finger so I can't
wear it either! Well, it wouldn't be a
problem except that my ring cost $4900 and
I really don't like leaving it at home...
The warranty on my ring covers free
sizings and i'm thinking about getting it
sized up but I wonder.... How long after
I have my baby will my fingers stay big?
Should I hold off a few more weeks and
just pray that no one robs me? Or should
I just go ahead and get it sized??

Couldn't you put it in a safe deposit at
the bank for now.
You will probably lose a lot of fluid once
baby is born. Right now just your blood
supply alone has probably near doubled.

No don't get it sized! Fingers swelling
is normal in pregnancy and it should go
back down. I couldn't wear most of my
rings during the end of my pregnancy but
they all fit perfect now. Do you have a
safe? Perhaps get a little safe if you
are concerned

Do you live in a really bad area? My
engagement ring was wicked expensive (and
unfortunately it hasn't fit in about 5
months) but it never crossed my mind that
leaving it home in my jewelry box wasn't a
good idea.
What if you hid it somewhere that nobody
would think to look if someone happened to
break in?

Yeah, I had it at my office in the safe
there, but I took it out because the
auditors were rooting through the safe and
I was nervous one of them would swipe it.
I figured the swelling would go back down,
but I have alot of swelling... My wedding
band is a size 7 and the cheap one I
bought to wear right now is a 10!!!  where do you get a
little safe to put it in?

you can seal things in a water tight
baggie and pop them into the cistern of
your toilet (the cistern is clean water),
or tape it underneath a drawer bottom.
I don't know how expensive safe deposits
are.
I'd just ask your local branch how much it
would be to deposit your ring for a few
weeks.

i live in the best part of town, but it's
this side of town that the burglaries
happen b/c it's where all the expensive
houses are and I guess they figure we're
the ones worth robbing..........
I thought about hiding it behind the big
wedding picture I have on my living room
wall. I thought about hanging it from the
nail and then putting the picture over it.
What do you think about that?

I would hold off for now.I had a lot of
swelling. I lost 15 pounds in a week
after my babies were born.

How long did it take all you ladies for
your swelling to go down? Mine is pretty
extreme and i'm worried it will take a
while...  I
don't know how these things work

help with it
