Hello!

For those who are due during/around July next year, you're invited to join the July 2025 Bump Group! June/August fence sitters welcome.

The group is going private in December, meaning the sub itself will not appear in a Reddit search, but you can access it here even after the sub goes private. Please send a ModMail and the mods will work with you to get verified/access. We are hoping anyone who searches for the sub will find this post and can request access easily!

As a reminder, the mods of r/pregnant do not run the bump groups - if you have any questions about r/July2025Bumps, please reach out to the bump mods. (And thank you to the r/p

BFPs and line progressions, ultrasounds, bump pics, baby photos, etc. go here!

User flair is live. There is a default option if you would like to use that format, otherwise feel free to add what you're comfortable with!

To explain the default option, you can add age, whether you're a first time mom (FTM), second (STM), etc., an indicator for your child(ren) and years of birth (if desired), and estimated due date (EDD).

If you have any problems or suggestions, reach out to the mod team!

Edit: you can also add a flag for your location (🇺🇸) or other details if you'd like!

Howdy, folks!

I was struggling with infertility due to PCOS. This year I started Metformin (for PCOS), eating better more consistently, and started seeing a trainer. I was benched until I could lose more weight to start treatment, so I really threw myself into it. I started working out consistently, improved my heart health, and lost 5% of my weight between Feb and May.

That was enough to trigger ovulation and now I'm pregnant! My positive was June 1st; I estimate we're about 4 weeks, but we have our first visit/dating scan on the 16th.

But this past week has been kind of hard - I've been extremely fatigued and my appetite has been severely dampened. Today was my first day back at the gym

Hey y'all

I know this space is supposed to be inclusive and welcoming for kayakers of all experiences, and questions are welcome. I support that. But am I the only one that gets annoyed with the daily "here's very little info, clearly I've done no research, recommend me the best/cheapest kayak" posts? They're easy to skip over, but there are just so many of them.

My understanding is subs can have 2 stickied posts. I wonder if we could sticky a post with a lot of starting points for purchasing kayaks (I'd be happy to help with this) and discourage (ban?) low-effort kayak recommendation posts. Or make like a weekly purchasing thread or something.

Anyway, just a thought. I wonder what oth
