I deserve a medal!

Photo from Velvet Lotus Photography

Years ago, I received a mothering medal in a giveaway from Enjoy Birth. I was determined to remember it this time!

I've always wanted to carry one of these for when some obnoxious person says: "You don't get a medal for having a baby naturally/breastfeeding/having a home birth/(fill in the blank)."

"Yes you do!" (Whips out medal.)


Having a baby is pretty awesome. It definitely deserves a medal.

Want to buy one? Go to Moms Deserve Medals. They're only $4.95 each.

    What a beautiful photo. And I love the medal!! I never got one for having that c-section I was so terrified to have. Maybe I will go pick one up for myself.

    After my son was born, my husband made me a medal, even though our homebirth turned into a hospital gong show. The medal is one of my prized possessions! After my most recent birth (a UC homebirth to my 11lb daughter), I bloody well better be getting another medal! ;-)

    I LOVE it! :) I think it is so great you remembered to put it on! I give these medals to my doula clients, but at the follow up visit. Maybe I should bring them TO the births! :)

    Could I put your picture on my website?

    Congrats on your sweet baby girl and you certainly DO deserve a medal!
