When i was 20 weeks pregnant i got told i had complete placenta previa were it covers the entire cervix well i had to go to the hospital cuz i was having contractions and so they did and ultrasound to check the placenta and i got told it moved to marginal then had an ultrasound at 30 weeks and it moved out of the way.... so don't worry about it cuz u still have plenty of time for it to move out of the way :) good luck to ya
