Brief Answer:
Get ultrasound scan or serum beta hCG blood test
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns about possibility of miscarriage.
heavy or light bleeding does not mean miscarriage. I suggest you get a transvaginal ultrasound scan to confirm gestational sac which should be seen by now.
Another option is to get serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy and its progress
