4. Steady trickle of blood.

Rationale:
The steady trickle of blood could indicate a laceration in the birth canal and should be reported to the health care provider for follow-up. A firm fundus is a desired finding and is considered normal. Six hours after birth, the fundus at the umbilicus would not be a concern. Moderate lochia rubra is considered a normal finding.
