You might not need this at all Cath, so don't get worried or stressed until you have seen doc and got full results.
Having said that it is not too big a deal.
dilation and curettage- This is what alot of ladies have when they have a m/c. Dilation refers to dilation of the cervix and the curettage bit is where they scrape away the lining of the uterus. Simple day procedure for most people.......In and out on same day. But have a light general so will need to take it easy for 24hrs or so.
