Lunatic
I have to say- the last couple days have made me feel like a lunatic! I keep thinking that labor might actually be starting... and it doesn't. I start to worry about when I last felt the baby move... and then he moves (thank goodness). I keep "noticing" things that are possibly bad signs... and google it, which only worries me more. Then luckily I call my friend Kimberly, a doula and a "birth veteran" (my term) and feel a little bit better. I worry about when to call my midwife... it just never ends! Please reassure me I am just being a typical, worrisome, clueless first-time birher!

Oh yeah, you're totally normal. I'm so excited for you!
yep, as normal as giving birth...
It will only get worse, though as a "birth veteran" i can tell you that you will not mistake the signs of labor. It is loud... it is obvious... YOU WILL KNOW.. so if you think you're in labor... you're probably not. If you're able to have a conversation with someone easily... you're not in labor. Oh yeah, and don't count on your water breaking as your first sign.
Good luck, you'll do fine. And congrats!!!
You couldn't be more normal. I felt that way every time...even my fourth. So don't worry. You are getting CLOSE!
