You'll be ok.

They'll just clean the lining of your uterus.
My father's OB&GYN and he used to refer to them as a "dusting and cleaning".

You'll have the worst cramps ever and then a really bad period (well I did at least).

D & C for Miscarriage

D and C — also known as dilatation (dil-ah-tay'-shun) and curettage (koo-re-tahzh') — is a minor surgical procedure in which the physician first dilates or opens the woman's cervix and then inserts a thin, spoon-shaped instrument and uses it to remove material from the internal lining of the uterus. Dilatation, therefore, stands for opening the cervix; curettage means the scraping of the uterine wall.

D&C is one of the most common surgical procedures of all. However, as routine as a D&C is, no two women undergoing a D&C are alike. The reasons for and the outcome of any operation depend on your overall health, your age, the severity of uterine bleeding, and any other abnormalities that exist in your uterus, such as polyps.
