I do see what you're saying and think you're perfectly right and have my deepest sympathy , but the word "doula" makes me very uncomfortable. It's the Greek term for a slave woman born in the owner's establishment, though (as is often the case) with the Latin ending. More highly regarded than one who had been bought, but still a slave and the social inferior of the per served.
