difficulty with jewelry

I have been married awhile now. My husband and I are expecting our first little girl.  My ring finger has started swelling but worse than that is the rash developing. Its so bad I had to remove my rings. Is anyone experiencing swelling or a rash with jewelry?

Same happened to me. If the rash is bothering you, you can do what I did. I put lavender and peppermint oil all around my finger. & it went away the next day.
I then went to kohls and bought new rings but before wearing them I put clear fingernail polish on the insides of the rings and haven't noticed a rash.  But now 2 months later these rings are getting too small too :( I'm almost 37 weeks so I think I'm just going to go without rings from here on out.

I had the same problem when pregnant with my first. I'm almost 20wks and upto now still wearing my rings. I know I may have to take them off at some point but it won't be for long :)

That happened to me my last pregnancy.  I have a platinum wedding set we got me a yellow gold band to wear and the rash went away. Maybe just try a different metal in a bigger size if able.
