placenta pervia?

Ladies,

I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks pregnant and was informed that my baby look fine just that my placenta is covering my cervix I was told this over the phone by my ob and she didn't go in much detail except that I can't have intercourse for the rest of my pregnancy because it will cause my baby to die and I could too due to blood lose. This really scares me...I look it up and found its called placenta previa. Have any of had this before in any of you pregnancies? If so should I be really concerned?
Thanks just a concerned mom to be

I had it with my first pregnancy, it caused spotting but not much, the placenta moved up around 6 months for me, went on to have an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. Hopefully yours moves up also. Good luck.

I was told no heavy lifting, no sex and basically take it easy... however my placenta has moved by 27 weeks and everything is good... there is a big chance urs will move up to so don't worry too much...
