How do I mention it to my doctor?

Hello, I don't know if this group is active or if anyone will see this but I have a question. Recently I was showing someone my extremely double jointed arm and they mentioned to me the possibility of having EDS. I had never heard of this before so I googled it and I have a lot of the symptoms of the hypermobility type (type III). I am very double jointed, I have scoliosis, my joints pop all the time, I bruise easily, etc. Well, I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with my second and have not had any compilations so far apart from a subchorionic hemorrhage in the first trimester but that has resolved itself. This is my second pregnancy and my first was perfect, no complications at all. Anyway, how do I mention the possibility of me having EDS to my OB? I'm kind of scared to because I've heard that a lot of doctors don't know anything about it really and don't take it seriously at all.
