More Workers for the Motherland

It would not do for the USSR to have only one formal honor for women who raised numerous children.

...so they had three.

Motherhood Medal, 2nd Class: For raising 5 children.
Motherhood Medal, 1st Class: For raising 6 children.

Order of Maternal Glory, 3rd Class: For raising 7 children.
Order of Maternal Glory, 2nd Class: For raising 8 children.
Order of Maternal Glory, 1st Class: For raising 9 children.

Order of Mother Heroine: For raising 10 or more children.
