Q: Fetal Heart Rate Decline at 20 weeks

I am 20 weeks pregnant, I had to go to the hospitol yesterday, because I had not felt the baby move, I had a slight bloody discharge, and cramping. That was all due to having intercourse that morning. What worries me is while on the fetal monitor the nurse said the baby's heart rate would go down every 3 minutesand then return to normal. She told the doctor but he said everything was o.k. I am worried, has anything like this happened to any one else???
