Hiya
With my first m/c it was slightly heavier than a normal period, my second one went wrong, I was changing a sanitary towel every ten minutes and passed out in the street so needed emergency help-I wishedthat I'd had it checked out earlier even if it hadn't gone badly, it's better to be seen to be told everything is alright, than to have a scare like I did, I reckon get it checked out asap.
Sorry to scare you, but I'm only 2 weeks or so on from my second m/c and DS was with me when I collapsed. It is better to have your mind put at rest or get help if needed.

Mia84, I had similar experience with dd1 and all was fine (she is now 5'2).
Old wives tale perhaps but lie down, feet up! Best wishes x
