Answers:
hi. don't be too woried coz stress may also affect your baby..
just don't stress your self much and try to relax,dont work or lift heavy objects..
your current stage in pregnancy is very senstive.. if you don't take care of your self and your action you might ending up loosing your baby.. So.. take care always and goodluck!
Talk to your baby and pray tis the best thing you can do.. if bleeding occurs consult your doctor.. =)
'The upper part of the uterus is the most favorable area for placental implantation because it is rich in blood and, therefore, nutrients and oxygen. The lower uterine segment is not and, therefore, it is possible that if the baby implants too low (low-lying placenta), risks of intrauterine growth restriction and preterm labor are much higher.
If the diagnosis is made before the 28th week of pregnancy, chances are excellent that, as the uterus grows upward, the placenta will migrate (move up) with the uterus and no longer be low-lying. If the diagnosis is made in the third trimester, this migration becomes less of a probability. Then what matters is "how low is low?"
During the last trimester, and especially in the last month, the lower uterine segment thins appreciably and pulls up a bit, which is what causes cervical effacement (thinning) and early dilatation. If the placenta is impinging on the lower segment and is not up in the fundus where it is supposed to be, then part of the placenta may dislodge and hemorrhage may occur. This first episode of bleeding is not necessarily fatal to the baby or mother, but this then becomes a very high-risk pregnancy involving bedrest, no intercourse and no internal examinations. The prospect of a cesarean birth is quite high. '

Well lets just hope it moves up then to where it should be. Its no problem as such except for when its time for the baby to be born. It just means c section if it doesnt move out of the way
You should take it easy and go for regular check ups .Otherwise there is nothing you can do.Would not recommend doing hard jobs.You need a lot of lying down.
I am 20 weeks along and had an ultrsound done and they said I am having a girl and my placenta is sitting by my cervix and that in 2 months due another ultrasound to see if it moves and if not I'll have a c-section and I never had one my other children were natural.
dont worry too much, although on your case you need to have a special attention for that , i mean not to do things that might affect the baby. ask the doctor if there will be a food supplement who could help you out with that situation. just pray that everything will be fine
