My midwife was about an hour away. For some of our appts, i met her at my Mum's which was closer. She made it to the birth, just! Ths was a second birth though, so a bit quicker. I also had my student midwife who was 10 mins drive away.
My student midwife kinda acted as a doula.

As long as your midwife doesnt have a problem, its not. My IM lives in Melbourne, I moved to country Victoria and am 1.5hrs from the city, a little less from her place. I trust my body, I know it wont all happen in an hour or hour and a half, and if it does, DP has instructions on how to catch lol. Hospital is only 5 mins away too, but I would much rather her be here than hospital 'just in case'

My midwives in good traffic live a good hour away. bad traffic and the meter is counting lol. i had a quick second birth (2.5 hours) and they were able to get there for the last 45 minutes (which was the important end anyway lol) before she was born (and then of course hung around for a few hours afterwards etc etc).
