The nurses at the hospital told me not to worry unless its enough blood to fill two pads in two hours, or you get severe cramping, or pass tissue (clumps in the blood). I still went a got checked every time I bled though! Every thing was fine and they said some women just bleed. Personally I would get checked because you are having back pain as well. You can call labor and delivery at the local hospital and ask them if they think you should come in.

Just lay down and relax, keep track of how much blood and the color. If there is any cramping or a lot of blood I would call ur doctor. Just relax, that's always the best. I was bleeding a little around 13 weeks and the doctor said as long as there was no cramping and it was a small amount of blood I was ok. Just stay of ur feet for a few hours and drink plenty of water

Go to the ER. Red blood is NOT  good sign, but it doesn't always mean something is wrong. I had bright red blood at 10 weeks and went to the ER expecting a miscarriage. Bloodwork and ultrasound came back perfect and I'm now on my way to 27 weeks. :) I never got a reason for the bleeding. I was told it was a "threatened miscarriage" and "spotting" and at my follow up the nurse said some women just bleed. So yeah, bright red blood with or without pain is a warning sign to go get checked but it doesn't always mean anything bad, sometimes it's normal. If you're like me and feel better knowing than waiting to see, go to the ER. It was a rough night of worrying but I never could have slept lol. Don't panic, but get checked out. Best of luck, hun! <3

I went to the hospital for bleeding around 30 weeks.  The nurse didnt seem too concerned since I wasnt cramping. Everything was fine :) I probably wouldnt have gone if my husband hadn't freaked out but its always better to be safe than sorry!!!

Have you been bleeding since then and is it a lot. I'm sure its probably nothing to really worry about but if you are still very worried you should call a nurse or the hospital
