placenta positioning?

My doctor scheduled me an ultrasound for tomorrow morning after my appointment with him today. He said he wanted to see where my placenta was positioned in my uterus. Im just wondering if there's any problems that can occur depending on where the placenta is at?
also, how many ladies had their placentas positioned around their pants line during their pregnancy?

Im 15 weeks so far, and when they listened to the heart beat today, he positioned the microphone thing just below where my pants would button and boom, we heard the baby right away. So I know my baby is sitting low still, but im not sure where the placenta is.
but if the placenta doesnt move up, are there any other issues (other than not having a vaginal birth) that it could cause?

I have this same problem my doctor says it is a low line placenta. When i went for a ultrasound at 20 weeks my placenta was lining with my cervic and if the placenta covered my cervic then i wouldnt be able to deliver vaginally i would have to have a c section but to worry because as i get far.ther in my pregnancy the placenta should move up.My doctor just told me to take it easy at work and no sex. I go for another ultrasound next week for more updates.
