Answer
Hi Emma,

I don't know how much blood signals a problem with a birth.  Considering rabbits do not have a great deal of blood, either in general, or to lose, I would watch her extremely carefully, especially if she is still bleeding.

If she appears weak or you find her collapsed you need to get her to the vet immediately.

Pregnancies last about 30 days.  Count back to the day they were together and you'll have a good idea when the newborns will arrive.
