The date was May 24, 1930 and my mama was about to give birth to her seventh child. She hadnt planned on having any more children and didnt understand how she had gotten knocked up. She had been getting up right after every time she got some, making a fist and blowing real hard in it so she wouldnt get knocked up. It had worked for two years for her since her Mid wife told her about it. She couldnt believe she was pregnant until she started showing, at about four months, it was to late to drink any ginger tea or any kind of tea.
