hi dear

irregular period is normal after misscariage,but heavy vaginal bleeding always should be a concern.
remaining of fetus will be considered as foreign body so uterus try to get rid of this by bleeding that's why you should expect son extra bleeding ,but if you experience abdominal cramp and back pain or dizziness it's better to consult your gynecologist
