How much blood is too much

I am currently 40 weeks and 4 days… I’ve been having contractions every 10-15 parts for the past 5-6 hours and I just started bleeding. I lost my mucus plug about 3 days ago and have been bleeding a little every now and then since then but now there’s a lot more blood when I wipe? How much blood should there be till I start worrying?

Contact your health care provider the same day if you have light vaginal bleeding that goes away within a few hours. Contact your health care provider immediately if you have any amount of vaginal bleeding that lasts longer than a few hours or is accompanied by abdominal pain, cramping, fever, chills or contractions.

Any bleeding that isn't mixed with mucous and requires a pad to protect clothing needs to be looked at by a midwife/doctor. It is probably just labour progressing but you absolutely need to be seen. Xx

I’m in the UK so I’m not sure how it works for you but if your at all concerned I’d ring up and ask. For me though the bleeding got really heavy right before it was time to start pushing.
