Any ideas before I rush to the doctors?

I am 31 years old, three children born in 3 years, youngest is four, I am having a prolapse of everything - very uncomfortable. I took a positive pregnancy test two weeks ago, I reckon I am around 10 weeks gone. I've had a little bit of bleeding, which didn't worry me because it was old and likely implantation bleeding. The problem is that I haven't told my husband yet, something just does not feel right, I haven't been sick, my breasts aren't sore - I just have no symptoms atall. With my prolapse, the fact I smoke, but am cutting down to stop, my age and a condition called mammary duct ectasia I just have this feeling that it didn't work out. Is it right that if I do another test and it is not as vibrantly positive as the last that I can expect to bleed sometime soon - or must I see the doctor? My husband would dearly love another child and I would rather keep this to myself if it is not to be. I really don't like surgical intervention, nature is nature in my eyes. The other thing in the back of my mind is that if something hasn't gone wrong so far, then due to my prolapse it just might do later on. I really don't want to excite the family to upset them later. Midwife won't generally see me until 12 weeks, so I've been quietly waiting to see what happens before announcing it.

My husband made me climb through an upstairs window to get to a friends dead body because he said he was too scared to go in there ---- he works hard and is good with the boys, but I am definitley the stronger one emotionally. To be honest, the stress of coping with him if he knew I'd miscarried (if my worries come to light) would be worse. I've looked in alot of sites and can't see anything linking prolapse to miscarriage, maybe I'm just expecting the worst so as not to be upset. I'll do another test in a few days I think, I'm probably afraid of the results. If it is negative would I need to tell my doctor or do you think it would be ok to let nature take its course unless I felt very unwell?

Well if your really are 10 weeks you should be able to get a heart beat via doppler soon....or maybe they can send you for an ultrasound.  If i was in your situation i wouldnt want to tell many people either, but maybe you could tell ur hubby so that you dont have to go through this all alone, the stress of that isn't going to help.  Good luck to you and ur little one.
