The Joys of being Pregnant!!!

So, as most of you already know I did not have a very easy pregnancy with Brylee and this one has not been much better!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! During the week of parent teacher conferences I was extrememely busy and stressed out. I had not felt the baby move for a few days and friends and family told me not to worry about it. I figured it was becauase I was busy and so I just waited until I had my scheduled Appt. with the Doctor. Parent Conferences were on a Thursday and my appointment was on Friday. When I went, he told me to hop up so we could hear the heartbeat and so I mentioned to him that I to was ready to hear the heartbeat because I had been worried that I had not felt her move. Well, he was nervous that I had not called him sooner!! He listened and got a a heartbeat, but he was still nervous. So, he sent me right to Utah Valley to have a non-stress test. I was there for about an hour while the monitored the baby. They said everything looked good and can I tell you that was a huge relief. Well, then the Monday after I took my class to planning time and when I went back to class I checked my phone. I had a message and so I began listeneing. It was the hospital and the message was marked urgent. My heart dropped and I instantly became very worried. The message mentioned that after the doctor reviewed the tests he was a little worried and wanted me to come back for another test. So, I made the necessary arrangements for Brylee and then Cory and I headed back to the hospital. We were there for about three hours. We had another non-stress test and two ultra-sounds and luckily things are okay. I tell you what being pregnany stresses me out!! I just don't have the easiest pregnancies and it makes me nervous. So now, I have to ask a couple questions for those of you who have been pregnant before.
I think that she is sitting on a nerve right now becauase I have a tingling feeling in my left arm. Is this normal. Has anyone ever felt this way before? I know I could be paranoid, but it is the weirdest feeling ever. Anyway, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!!!
