I guess my hands have puffed up in the last few days and I cannot get my rings off at all. I have tried all the tricks and now I'm freaking out. What can I do??
You might have to go to a jeweler to have them cut off Did you eat anything overly salty? I couldn't get my rings off after Chinese take out and waited a few hours and managed to squeeze them off.

Stand in the cold. I was at my OB's office, which is always hot, the other day, and my hands were so swollen and my rings couldn't budge. As soon as I got outside in the cold, the swelling went down and they loosened up.
I have tried soap and water, baby oil, windex. Windex got it kind close, but I freaked and pulled and now my finger is swollen worse. I'm going to drink a ton of water, ice it and try again. It was fine yesterday ugh!!
Me too! I think I have made it worse by panicking and pulling. I really wasn't this swollen a few days ago, but I have been on my feet and walking around more which tends to make my hands and feet swell. I'm trying not to freak and will try again tomorrow. I can still spin it around and it doesn't hurt or anything, but I cannot get it over my knuckle! Ugh
Definitely wait a bit. The more you pull the worse it will get In the mean time, lots of water and then ice it and use oil or soap to twist it off slowly instead of straight pulling. I hope you get them off easily when you try later!
Good news. The swelling went down and they came off easily this morning. Not putting them back on though!! Thanks for all the tips
Thank goodness! I took my rings off by like week 9 and never put them back on again. I get a little jealous when I see really pregnant girls who are still wearing their rings.
this post kind of made me nervous and I took mine off (with a bit of effort) this morning and may just keep them off. I asked H for an inexpensive stand in wedding set for Christmas in a size up. I really, really hope he gets it for me.
