I just read about Ines Perez who gave HERSELF a cesarean to save her baby.  Wow, 2 shots of alchohol, a new knife and a strong desire to save her baby’s life gave this mom the courage to do this.  Amazingly she and the baby survived.

This mom deserves a medal!

I am so excited to announce that the medals are ready to ship!  I have been working hard getting the Moms Deserve Medals website up.  I would love feedback on the site and on the medals themselves.

I am giving 5 medals away to 5 different people!  In addition one lucky winner will win a copy of the book
Labor of Love: A Midwife’s Memoir by Cara Muhlhahn along with the medal!

Here is how you can get entered into the give away.

You can earn another entry by adding a Moms Deserve Medal Badge to your blog or website.  There are many choices.  3 Moms Deserve Medals, 3 I Deserve Medals and 3 You Deserve a Medal!  If you want a personalized badge and if you e-mail me a picture, I will make one for you!
