OMG OMG

my rings are for real stuck no amount of pulling is working and they are starting to hurt

[alaysha]

Have you tried soaping them up and trying to get them off under running water?

[BTS1022]

use soap like dish soap and a tad bit of water, you can also use butter or cooking oil. If that doesnt work they will need to be cut.

[Kelly87]

Wrap a string tight around your finger and slide the rings over the string... i saw it on a movie once.. lol

[joshuawatkin]

Try putting your hand under very cold running water or put ice on your fingers  and put some washing up liquid on them. If it doesnt work you may have to cut them off like i had to. good luck.

[degriffdog]

Try putting your hand in ice, that will take down the swelling enough to get the ring off.

hey, i just asked my girl about hers, and she said she actually ended up going to a piercing parlor.....you're talking about breast piercings, right? she said they were able to get them out using some kind of tool.....and that it only hurt when they got them out, and just for a couple days, from where they'd leak some, and then started to heal...

[joshuawatkin]

Breast piercings or hand rings?

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

nope my wedding rings and my thumb ring....didn't think about specifying (sorry)  but I've tried lotion , soap and cold water I'll try the ice thing....I never thought about it......

[praying hard]

I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since I was 22 weeks...my hand got swollen like that while I was at my dr.'s appointment.  The Dr. used the u/s gel to get it off!  I haven't put them on since then!  I hope you get it off!

[JoyRenee]

Oh no, Brandi! I hope you can get them off!!! When your hands are cold, they sort of "shrink", for lack of better word. So try that and then use something really greasy like cooking oil.

[jesslee83]

my first E-ring was a half size too small and if i had to get it off, i'd put lotion on, then wash my hands in straight COLD water, using hand soap....and it worked cos the lotion would start "messing up", and mix with the soap, and the cold water would make my fingers shrink.....

i'm SORRY!!!!!i i thought you meant breast rings!!!!!!!!

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

LOL well the drama's over I got them off but gosh that hurt......I just kept my hands in the cold cold water and eventually they came off.....ouch is all  i got to say though.....

[jesslee83]

lol, they'll probably hurt later, from all the rubbing!

but life is good again , as my MIL would say lol

[mami1323]

I had to take mine off pretty early on in my pregnancy.  I did that for fear that it would get stuck.  

[Grandmatobe]

If something like that ever happens again, always keep your fingers pointing up, otherwise, the blood rushes to the tips of the fingers and makes them more swollen.

[LosingMyMindInGA]

might want to think about wearing them on a necklace for the time being...I had to do that with a couple pregnancies.  

[Brittny27]

I have heard so many stories of women getting there rings cut off because of swelling. I'm glad that you got them off.  

[martikadragoon]

Don't put the rings back on, btw. if it's a wedding ring, you can wear it around your neck and get a cheap silver one to wear in its place.

About 2-3 weeks ago around 19weeks I noticed my wedding band would get too tight during the day, and knowing I swell easily normally, I decided to go to the mall and buy a pretty silver ring with crystals (looks like a wedding ring) 1/2 size larger than what I'd normally wear. $20.

It's still too big 1/2 time but when it's hot out and I start swelling I really, REALLY appreciate having it, ESP. when the wierd guys begin hitting on me, I can just flash the ring. :)
