They do an ultrasound sound and monitor ur baby for about 30 min and then they will took u up to another machine they out some kind of band on ur belly that monitor ur babies heart beat and it takes ur blood pressure.

And for ur bloody nose has ur blood pressure been high. Cause that is what happened to me. I got nasty head aches.

The same thing happened to me with a nose bleed, I have never had one in my life before being pregnant, and so far I have had three. For me it was because we have a wood stove to heat our house and it was really dry in our bedroom, it just happens because there is extra blood flow during pregnancy  
And for the stress test I had one on Sunday , no ultrasound though, they just hooked me up on the machine for 30 mins and every time I felt baby kick I had to press a button and they got a paper record of the babys heart beat and kicks, I went in because I was having extreme pain all around my stomach and back and then I threw up and everything went away, even babies movement, but baby started moving again when I got to the hospital

28+4 sorry for the long reply
