It's been 10 whole months since I updated the last post but not much has changed except as I get closer to my wedding day I get slower at updating the posts every month and for that I'm so sorry. It only makes the need for extra help greater so if you want to help mod not only your due date sub but others I would love the help.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REQUESTING
First, do not use an app for this! You need to use a web browser in desktop mode, be it on your phone or on an actual computer.
If you have any other device/browser combination, you'll have to do a bit of googling to figure it out.
So now that you know how to get to a desktop view, log in to your reddit account and visit your due date sub using the links below. The 'Request to Join' feature only works on new reddit, so the links below will go directly to new reddit.

2024 Babies!
(sorry for the weird names, reddit banned the subs for being inactive and some are still banned, others have been taken by people I'm not familiar with that haven't responded to my messages yet)
It is not possible to long press and copy links from submissions or comments on the reddit app, so if you are viewing this from the app, the link format for accessing the subreddits is "https://new.reddit.com/r/subredditnamehere." If you're using the reddit app you can also click on the 3 vertical dots next to your snoovatar/profile icon, choose 'share,' copy the link to this post and paste it into your browser (which should be in desktop view now).
If you've 1) put your browser in desktop view 2) logged in to your account and 3) navigated to the right sub, you should see the private subreddit with the 'Request to Join' button. It might not take at first for iphone/Opera users for some reason, so refresh a few times!

Choose 'Request to Join' and a message box will populate that looks like this
What you see when you choose 'Request to Join'
You can just hit the 'Send Request' button, no need to add a message unless you would like to volunteer to be a mod and help me add people!
And that's it! In order to keep this post free from clutter, I will put the links you can use to send a message straight to the mods in a sticky comment below.
FAQS
* 1. Why is it so hard to send in a request?
I really don't know! I was one of the people who first asked for the 'request to join' feature, but new reddit and the official reddit app are not always developed in a way that allows them to work together well. If you hate it as much as I do, send the admins a message!
* 2. When will my due month be accepting members?
I try to open each subreddit 8 months before the due date on the first of the month. I might be a few days late if I am traveling or otherwise busy, like I was this month. So - June is open in October, July is open in November, August is open in December, and so on.
* 3. Why do you wait a whole month to open the new subreddit?
I do this to avoid the large number of early loss posts the subreddit gets :(
* 4. The subreddit was public for me and now it's gone! What happened?
That was a different subreddit. These subreddits are private from the beginning to prevent pregnancy fetishist creeps from infiltrating the subreddits. Having one common moderator allows me to see when creepers (or researchers and advertisers) are requesting access to a suspicious number of subreddits and keep them out.
* 5. Do you still need mods to help add people?
Yes god please help. We need mods for regular old /r/pregnant too, so if you made it all the way through this please chat me! The reddit app has been very weird for me since the chat changed to a new program so it make take a few messages for me to even be notified of your message - promise I'm not ignoring you.
Autopopulated message links begin here
I hope this helps those who are having trouble trying to figure out how to message the mods.
To make it super easy for everyone, I've made links that will auto-populate a message to the mod inbox of each sub. These do not seem to work on the reddit app for ios at all, and third party apps were killed off by reddit, so this really only works on desktop for ios users.
Please be aware that the approval time for these can be much longer because the process to approve without an official 'request for approval' is much more tedious. The approval time can be made even longer if you submit a request and then send one of these messages so PLEASE do not send both!

Again, if you have already successfully sent in a request do not send in another. It can result in us approving you, then accidentally removing you.
