Bleeding? Disappointing trip to L&D...

Yesterday I woke up from a nap with blood in my underwear, was red not mixed with any discharge, went to the bathroom, more was in the toilet and when I wiped. So I showered, went to my families house, there was more. So I called my doctor(some on call hospital operator number) and they said come in.
So I did.
After an hour of monitoring they sent me home, but I feel like they should have done more.. I always get so over whelmed and nervous there I never ask enough questions! They didn't do an ultrasound, they didn't check for dilation, didn't do anything except hook my belly up to a monitor...
My blood pressure was fine, baby had a good heart rate, my pulse was way high.
The thing that worried me was when I was having minor contractions, her heart rate would drop to 90s..
But I'm still bleeding today, it's by no means heavy, but as a ftm I never want to see blood!
I don't want to be the person that keeps showing up, to be sent home, I just feel worried!
And I don't see my doctor until Thursday :/

Edit to add: I'm not in anyway saying I wish they would have induced or anything like that, I just wish they would have checked us both out more! To ease my mind.. I know they are doctors and should know what they are doing and I'm just a ftm but I really don't feel comfortable not being checked more :/

    Sounds like my hospital. They do the exact same thing to me.Fetal monitor and contraction one. What I learn is to deman to be seen or heard now. I haven't bleed but had horrible non related pregnancy pain. When they kept telling me its normal. And find out it's not. My grandma told me "they are there for a reason getting paid if you don't feel right go in and don't leave till you do." hopefully today is a better day for you hun :)

    Hmm, I'm surprised they didn't do more too. Did they have an explanation for the blood? I'm a FTM and not a doctor so I'm not sure what could be going on there, sorry. Can you get in touch with your doctor before Thursday and just explain that you were very stressed when you were in the hospital and didn't ask some questions you want answered, and get her feedback? And don't be afraid to call again and say you are still having bleeding - I'm sure if it's an on-going issue they would want to do more to monitor you.

    @rachelkawesome no. They had no real explanation. Just "sometimes you bleed" or "maybe you're dilating" uhh then check!!! Just ideas/reasons why some people bleed!
    Today I'm having bad contractions but nothing I can time yet, just random. So I may be returning to see them today anyway. :/

    I'd call back and see if you can talk to your OB. I had bleeding and was monitored. But they did check me and did an ultrasound of baby, placental placement, and my cervix.
    It may be nothing, or it could be something a little more pressing.

    Can you call your OB? They should have an answering service even if it's after hours or on the weekend.

    Aww, well I hope you can get more answers if you do go in!
