Mild to severe back pain
Abdominal cramping, much more intense than menstrual cramping
Discolored, pink cervical mucus
Drop in pregnancy symptoms (this can be difficult to assess in early pregnancy)
Bleeding: brown or red (up to 30% of pregnancies may have some bleeding, with about half of those going on to have full term deliveries
Any sized tissue or clots passing from the vagina
