Low Fetal Heartbeat?

I went to see my MD today for a regular checkup only to find out my baby girl has a low fetal heart rate of 108. It's normally around 134-150. He immediately sent me to L&D to be monitored. They monitored me and also gave me fluids the entire 5 hours I was there to get her heart rate up! It ended up being 131 when they released me. I have a follow up appointment Thursday. Have any of you other mothers experienced this before? I'm soooo scared I don't know what to do.
