Both my midwives were at least an hour away. I didn't think it'd be a problem and the first arrived in plenty of time, just as my labour was 'established'. Second nearly didn't make it. If there's ever a third time I'd have both come straight away. If it wasn't for the fact that pushing took 50 mins this time I'd have only ended up with one at the birth.

My doula was only 15 mins away.

First baby especially, an hour is fine.
