I has been over four months since my beautiful baby daughter was born and I am working so hard to lose the weight. It is coming off, but I still can’t get my wedding rings back on and I miss them so much! How long did it take you, and do you have any tips to speed up the process? Thanks!!
**yes, i am nursing:)
How long did it take you moms out there to get your wedding rings back on (if you had to take them off)?

I never did. I had to get them resized two sizes. uuggghh
I had mine back on 2 weeks after birth, and i didnt do anything but breastfeed for the first 6 wks… (still am) but i heard you loose more weight that way.. so maybe? other than that i just talk my daughter for walks everyday but i dont think that helps with water in your hands.. have you checked with your doctor? they might have more suggestions!
WITH IN A WEEK I GOT MINE BACK ON
I could get mine back on about 6 weeks after my daughter was born. Nursing really helps you loose the baby weight – are you nursing?
My baby was born 8 months ago and while my ring does fit, it’s a bit snug. I’ve taken to wearing it on a nice chain around my neck or on my middle finger. But hubby didn’t like the middle finger idea..he claimed I was saying “F U” to our marriage. Haha. The weight loss will take time, and sometimes your fingers and feet just don’t go back to normal. If worse comes to worse, you can always resize it.
I could not wear mine for my whole last trimester, but about 2 weeks after my baby was born and I lost all the fluid my rings went back on.
Mine were off for about 2 months… breastfeeding helped me lose all my 50lbs within 4 months… good luck!
*By the way – during pregnancy and the 2 months afterwards, I wore my fake wedding jewelry… which I’ll save for the next baby too!
when we got home from the hospital i got them on. he was 3 days old.
only couldnt wear them durring the last 2 months of my pregnancy.
they actually fit looser than they did before. go figure.!
I waited a year, and after losing all the weight, I still couldn’t get them back on. So, I had to get them resized.
When my husband and I married six and a half years ago, I weighed more than what I do now, about ten pounds. My rings were big then, and I took to wrapping them together with a wire twist tie, like girls did/do in high school with the boys’ class rings. At the end of my pregnancy, they fit with out the tie, but I was too hesitant to wear the rings without. I think there were a few times that my rings were too tight, like the weekend we moved in August (I was eight months pregnant and my feet had swollen to the point that I could only wear flip flops), but after I rested and the water retained they were fine.
As for my weight, I’m just a pound heavier than what I was at the very beginning of my pregnancy. My daughter is four and a half months old and while I’m eating what I want when I want (whole real foods) I’m not exercising, which is not good. Oh, yeah, I’m also breastfeeding exclusively.
A chain isn’t a bad idea. I thought about that for my husband as his ring as always been too small. Then I had a moment of cheapness and decided that if I did that, he wouldn’t have as much motivation to lose weight which he’s done because he’s been eating most of his meals vegan and buying the good whole, real foods. When it gets warmer, we’ll put our daughter in the stroller and go walking.
3 months and they were really tight but hubby was bumming that I wasn’t wearing them even though he knew how tight they were. My boy is 6 months and they’ve just started fitting normally. However my shoe size did change as I now have to look for the extra wide shoes, I can no longer keep hunting in the regular sizes for something that just had a wider shape than normal. It sucks because I love shoes and it’s really limited here what you can find in double or triple E wide. Heaven help me if my feet get wider again with the next one!
It took me 4-5 months. Don’t resizes it. You will lose the weight, slowly. Now my wedding ring is bigger on me then before I got married.
