Choosing a Doula

I'm going to follow up to this post after I pose this question/thought.

In choosing a doula would you allow the idea of the Doula having or not having her own children/giving birth be a part of your decision making processes?

If you answer yes, I ask you to also then rethink your choice in your OB. If you have chosen a man then you should also then with confidence be able to say that you should not use that OB because he himself has never given birth.

A Doula and any other provider should always be chosen based on chemistry, knowledge and experience. Does their idea of birth match yours? ALL other factors should be taken off the table.
