I would be annoyed that the sister planned it on her brothers bday considering the baby is almost a year at that point. As far as it being so close to your due date, you'll be getting lots of attention that day so that'll show her.
Clearly you and the friend are not that close since she didn't consider the date and you are so annoyed by it. I would reconsider saying yes. It is a life long commitment after all. If not, I wouldn't worry about the 2 hours. If anything were to happen, you'll be in labor much longer than that (usually) so just hop on the car and head back. Since you will be noticeably pregnant, be ready for people to ask if that couple will be your kids god parents.

You are right. It's not all about you. No one should be planning around you. 3 weeks before your due date and 2 hours away from your hospital is not the best, but also not the worst. Talk to your doctor whether they want you that far away. If you are already an hour away, it doesn't seem out of the question. As for your nephew, you didn't mention the distance. If it's around your area, I would not have a problem. Yes, you may be in the hospital with a baby, but you can't expect everyone to take the month of May off for you. Your baby may be late. You are going to be bored in May if you don't make any plans. And I never expect anyone to plan around my birthday. I'm a grown up. I don't care.
Hey our bday situation is similar.. My due date is 18 May then my bday is 21 May and DH bday is 22nd May so we have a busy month too ...
As for the topic at hand, we have had people plan weddings and things around our due date even though our due date was determined before they chose their dates. We just simply aren't attending and if anyone wants to ask why we will let them know seriously of every month in the year may here isn't even nice it's rainy and cold :-/
Besides you guys being so close to your due date, I think you may be too grumpy about the birthday overlap. Life happens. I had a ton of meetings scheduled on my birthday this year and you suck it up. Like others have said, it's up to you what you guys want to go to. If others get offended, reconsider how close of friends you want to be.
