My obgyn has also told me that anything between 130-170bpm is pretty normal. He looks for a hb of around 150bpm, which yours is very close to. Also I understand that the bub's hb will vary according to your moods as well, eg if you're relaxed, stressed, excited. And your bp too is affected by how much you're worrying. In this case, the pain and the spotting probably got to a point where it started to drive your bp up, and therefore bub's neart rate as well!
Might be worth you having a bit of a rest today and trying not to worry too much - which I know is not easy. I hope the spotting stops soon.
