low lying placenta

Anyone else facing this? I'm currently 22weeks and I was told at my last doctor visit that my placenta was low. I wanted a little more info from someone who is going through or has been through the same thing. Only thing I really know is that it may result in a cesarean section. Also looking for girls that are due around the same time as me. Need some prego friends lol

I tried to post once before and I'm not sure it posted so sorry if this is a repeat. Anyway, I'm 23 weeks pregnant, due Dec 25 of all days and I just found out that my placenta is completely covering my cervix. I felt like my dr. was giving me "doctor answers" so I've been kind of trying to do a bit of my own research on it. From what I've read I'm starting to get a little bit nervous. I already have some health problems to start with. This is my second pregnancy.

I'm 26 weeks. Due November 26. I have a low lying placenta as well. It's not the worst thing in the world but if u don't take it easy it could cause bleeding and/or early labor. I need a c-section too, but I've already gone into labor 3 times and it was really scary. U shouldn't do a lot of walking...i made the mistake of doing it the other day and it caused excruciating pain...but otherwise just relax and don't worry about it. The placenta still has a very good chance of movie
