I''m nearly due and my fingers have become so swollen that it''s difficult to take off my rings. When will this get better?

Mild swelling (oedema) of the ankles and hands occurs commonly in normal pregnancy, and only gets better when the baby is born. Therefore, if you are having trouble removing rings then you should probably take them off and leave them off until the swelling goes down after delivery. Rarely, if rings are left on and become stuck, they have to be cut off.
