Fainted yesterday-13weeks pregnant-help

Let me start by saying I am 13weeks pregnant, baby #3 and I have a hemorrhage that was 1.5cm at 7weeks pregnant, and is now 5cm. I am high risk, and hoping for advice on some things I’ve been going through.
So yesterday (thanksgiving) I was in the kitchen preparing for thanksgiving dinner when suddenly I felt very dizzy and my legs got weak. I sat down and told my husband, “I think I’m going to pass out”. My husband says that right after I said that, my body went limp and then started shaking/convulsing. He laid me on the floor, on my side, next to the chair, and began calling my name. I remember (I guess as I was coming too) feeling my legs shaking. They stopped, and then I could very faintly hear my husband calling my name. Everything was foggy, and it took about 5-10 minutes before I could hear/see clearly.. and still it was a bit foggy. My husband picked me up, put me in the bed and put cold towels on me. I was completely over heated at this point, and he could feel it. After about 30 minutes or so, I felt better, and was able to get up, but for the rest of the day, I just left completely drained.
My OB was closed yesterday and today due to the holiday, so I couldn’t call them. My sister says I should go to the ER today, but I feel normal (for 13weeks pregnant with a hemorrhage) . I’m not going to lie, it scared the crap out of me. Between the hemorrhage causing spotting and sometimes full on bleeding, and now this, I’m just really worried about this pregnancy.
What should I do? Go to ER? Wait until Monday when my OB is open? And if anyone has gone through this before, I’d love any advice or guidance you may have to give.
Thanks!

If there isn't an on call doctor, what about going to an urgent care?
