Victoria, I know how you feel, but just be careful. In my 32nd week, I went for a check-up and when the doc saw the ring on my finger he MADE me take it off in front of him, saying that it is very dangerous to wear a ring (any ring) this late in pregancy. I told him I had only had swelling from time to time, and that it meant a lot to me to have that ring on my finger, but he was extremely adamant, telling me that it would be worse to have the ring cut off of my finger. Sure enough, a few weeks later, I have had many bouts of extreme swelling in my fingers and now they are a lot larger than before. My ring doesn't fit at all. I'm really glad I took that ring off when I did, bc cutting it would have had a bad symbolic meaning to me. --DNL At Fri, 26 Jul 2002, Victoria wrote: >
