Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools welcomed their fifth child into the world this week. Also present at the birth were the couple’s other four children, and the two eldest daughters even cut the umbilical cord.

Have you been present at the birth of a baby other than your own child? Perhaps you were supporting a relative, close friend or, like the Oliver children, saw your own mother giving birth. Or did you witness a stranger go into labour in a public place? Share your stories with us.
