Watch Pregnant Woman Forced to Get Wedding Ring Cut Off After Eight Years

A video of the moment a pregnant wife is forced to have her wedding ring cut off has gone viral.

Over 440,000 people have watched the popular clip posted by Vicky Logan, who uses the TikTok handle @victoriouslogan.

The video, captioned: "You waited too long to take off your wedding ring during pregnancy," has received more than 30,500 likes.

Vicky can be seen trying a number of methods like oiling up her finger before a jeweler cuts her engagement ring and wedding band off.

In 2021, Americans spent an average of $6,000 on an engagement ring, according to The Knot Jewelry and Engagement Study.

Among 5,000 adults aged 18-54, the results found that ring costs vary by the type of stone, with the average cost of a clear diamond engagement ring being $6,800, versus an average of $2,500 for a gemstone. When comparing Millennials to Gen Z, Millennials spent $6,700 and Gen Z spent $4,100 on their engagement rings in 2021.

Vicky points out in the comments she has worn the rings for eight years and states she is "sad" that she didn't take them off sooner.

She has advised other pregnant women to take their rings off before it is too late.

Swelling in pregnancy is "normal" and it isn't just the hands that may swell but the feet and waistline too.

"Your body expands to accommodate your growing baby. Feet swelling, sometimes referred to as edema, affects approximately eight out of 10 pregnancies. It's usually caused by the increased fluids circulating around your body" according to Verywell Family, an online parenting resource.

The website recommends removing any rings as soon as you notice you're having trouble getting them off. But that doesn't mean the rings have to be hidden away, you could do the following with them:

• Start wearing a ring that isn't a complete circle but has a break in it.
• Wear your rings on a necklace.
• Pin your rings onto your clothing with a pin. (Diaper pins can work too!)
• Simply go without rings for a while.

More than 200 people have commented on the post. The top comment has received over 1,500 likes, saying: "welp sounds like a new ring/push gift is coming. #thebrightside"

"Wait!! People don't take off their rings daily??? I'd never sleep with a ring on," asked another TikToker.

"Ommmggg Vicky, I know your heart is hurting to have to cut your ring," sympathized another.

Another comment said: "This is my sign! Cause I already took mine off cause they were feeling tight but I squeezed it back on when I went out. I'm officially taking them off."
