导读:近日，一位母亲将自己当初在野外小河生下第四个女儿的视频传到网上，视频的观看人数达到了5200万。这位母亲在震惊于关注人数的同时也回应了一些争议。
A 43-year-old mother who gave birth to her fourth baby unaided in a stream has insisted she isn’t ’hippy drippy’ - as the footage of her labour has been watched by a staggering 52 million people.
一名43岁的母亲曾在没有任何护理人员在场的情况下在一条小河生下了自己的第四个孩子。她坚称自己并不是在“博人眼球”，而这段分娩视频的观看人数达到了令人震惊的5200万。
Simone Thurber, 43, who now lives in Park City, Utah, says she has been shocked by the amount of attention her 22-minute-and-32-second long home video has attracted.
43岁的西蒙妮如今住在犹他州的帕克城，她表示自己也对这段时长22分钟32秒的视频的观看人数感到震惊。
The graphic film initially shows the brunette labouring in and out of a bathtub set up in a garden before she heads down to a creek in the Australian Daintree Rainforest and finally gives birth without a midwife or doctor present.
这段视频的开头，一名白人女子在花园中的浴缸中进行生产，随后她钻出浴缸，来到澳大利亚丹翠雨林的一条小河，在没有接生婆或者医生在场的情况下完成了分娩。
Footage shows her naked and cowering on all fours, before a baby’s head emerges.
视频片段显示她在孩子露出脑袋前一直是全裸的，身体蜷缩趴在垫子上。
Simone, who is trained doula and birthing therapist, is then seen pushing her daughter out as her partner, Nick, steps in to help.
接着西蒙妮努力将孩子挤出体内，这时恋人尼克上前帮忙。据悉西蒙妮曾接受过产妇陪护和分娩理疗师的培训。
After giving birth, she holds her newborn to her breast with the rest of her young daughters watching on.
西蒙妮将出世的孩子放在自己的胸部上，其余几个女儿在一旁看着她们。
Simone said she uploaded the video to YouTube to show people what it would be like to give birth in nature and she never expected the amount of attention it has received.
西蒙妮表示自己将视频上传到YouTube的目的在于向世人展示在野外分娩的样子，对视频吸引如此之多的关注也是始料未及。
The mother-of-four added: ’After 50 people watched it I thought OMG my friends have seen me really naked, after 500 I was shocked.
这位四个孩子的母亲写道：“观看人数达到50的时候我在想‘天哪，我的朋友都看到我裸体的样子了’当这个数字超过500的时候，我震惊了。”
’To know that more than 52 million people have taken the time to watch me having my now four-year-old daughter Perouze and to get messages from mums and dads thanking me for sharing this intimate birthing experience because it helped them feel less stressed or scared about their birth choice decisions is great.’
“超过5200万人观看我是如何生下已经四岁的女儿Perouze的过程，年轻的父母感谢我的分娩经验助他们克服紧张和恐惧，这一切实在太美妙了。”
According to Simone she always wanted to have a baby in the wild which she knows to many people sounds extraordinary.
西蒙妮表示自己一直想在野外分娩，她知道大多数人对此感到不可思议。
Explaining her train of thought, 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.
她解释了自己的想法：“我不是个不着调的母亲，可我不希望我的第四个孩子出生在医院哔哔作响的机器里。”
’Let’s face it women have been giving birth in the wild for thousands of years but the thought a modern women squatting in a creek and giving birth horrified many people even before I gave birth and shared the video.’
“孕妇在野外分娩已经有上千年的时间了，可在我分享视频前，人们一想到女性趴在小溪上分娩就被吓得不轻。”
When Simone fell pregnant with her fourth child she discussed her dream of a birth in nature with her then partner Nick, who supported the idea.
西蒙妮怀上第四个孩子后和当时的恋人尼克讨论了自己在野外分娩的梦想，尼克对此表示支持。
The couple, who were living in Melbourne, Australia at the time, then went about finding the perfect location.
这对情侣当时住在澳大利亚的墨尔本，于是他们开始寻找合适的分娩地点。
A friend of theirs offered them a house in the Daintree Rainforest area of Queensland and from there, they found a stream nearby.
二人的一位朋友请他们住进了自己位于昆士兰丹翠雨林的房子里，二人在附近发现了一条小河。
Sadly the beach was not an option because of an infestation of jelly fish which is common along that area of Australian coastline.
可惜小河旁常有这片海域常见的海蜇出没，因此不适合作为分娩地点。
The stream area was extremely dark, so in case of a night birth Simone and her partner installed a bathtub in the garden.
这片水域在晚上会变得很暗，于是西蒙妮在花园中装了浴缸以备夜晚生产。
Simone went into labour at 11pm and was expecting it to be short.
西蒙妮于晚上11点开始生产，分娩时间本来预计不会很长。
However, she was still experiencing contractions at 9am and so she jumped in a car and headed to her ’dream’ birthing location.
然而直到转天早上九点，西蒙妮的子宫仍处在收缩状态。于是她跳上车，前往自己“理想”的分娩地点。
Two hours later squatting and naked in the stream Simone gave birth to her daughter who was named Perouze and is now four-and-a-half years old.
全裸的西蒙妮在河水中蹲了两个小时，生下了女儿Perouze。如今Perouze已经四岁了。
