A mother who wanted to experience labour 'in the wild' gave birth in a stream without any medical assistance - and filmed it. Simone Thurber says she is proud of the footage of the birth of her fourth child but has now spoken about how shocked she is by the attention the clip has generated. She is seen squatting and getting on all fours as she breathes through the pain and contractions, eventually giving birth to a daughter as her other children surround her. The mum-of-four explained that she had always wanted to experience giving birth in the wild.
She said: "I am not a hippy drippy mum but I wanted my fourth child to be born away from beeping machines and a hospital environment.
