no, i didn't have a baby yet. However, i do weigh about 5 pounds more than i did 4 years ago so i don't know if that's why i can't put it back on. I just tried it again last night and no cigar. I felt like my hand was being crushed
Can you try putting it on in the morning? Or maybe after you've exercised and sweated out some of your water weight?
I guess if you're really desperate, you can hold off on salt for a day or two, and see if that makes you shrink down a little..

I know this thread is a little old, but if your haven't yet had success, get one of those plastic produce bags that you put your produce in, in the grocery store and slip it over your hand, then you should easily be able to slip on your bangle. Works every time for me. Works for taking it off too, of course.
Sometimes osteo-arthritis can make your joints bigger without you really noticing it. It may not be enough in any one joint (yet) to make a ring not fit, but when you add all the tiny increases together over all the joints of your hand, it can make it difficult to put bangles on or take them off. It may not be the case with you, but unfortunately it is for me. That doesn't solve the problem, of course, but it might help explain it.
Temo beat me to the punch.
Produce bags work great...I can actually wear bangles a few millimeters smaller than my measured size using those.
A lot of it depends on the flexibility of your hand, too. You might not be able to smush/collapse it as easily as you could a few years ago. But if the bangle came off, it will go back on. Keep trying.
