Woke up this morning to my hands so swollen I can’t even take my wedding ring off. I use wrist wraps…

Time to take your rings off! I had to a few weeks ago- I replaced it with a thumb ring 😂. Are the wrist wraps supposed to help swelling???

@amysbabies, oh no 😢 it never comes off. I was having problems with my fingers going numb so dr said it’s from pregnancy and that wearing them at night will help

@fishinamanda, oh okay! I know I didn’t have to take my rings off last time around, but my fingers have been swelling so much, they were causing me pain. I woke up to find I had removed one of my rings in my sleep (due to discomfort I’m sure)- that was when I took them off- did not want to lose them. I’ve heard it can get so bad you need medical help getting them off. My “thumb” ring on my ring finger even gets tight sometimes now😭😭😭

@amysbabies, maybe I need to go get silicone rings

Oh no! I wouldn’t try to take the ring off anymore, you may cause more inflammation. You can get the swelling to go down within an hour by putting your arms above your shoulders, this brings the excess fluid back to the body.

@fishinamanda, that’s a good idea!!!
