Anyone else have low lying placenta, and what was the outcome?

Question

I had my 1st ultrasound done yesterday and I am 21 weeks 3 days along. The doctor said the placenta was covering cervix, and of course we need that to move up by the time delivery approaches. I will have another ultrasound around 32 weeks to see if it did move. 

This is my 2nd pregnancy, my first pregnancy was natural vaginal birth. My son was pretty big (9 lbs 8 1/2 oz) and I did bleed more than average after the birth. I read online that a low lying placenta can be caused by a previous pregnancy/scaring/etc. so wasn't sure if that could be effecting it or not.

Anyway, I do know that it like 80-90% of the time the placenta does move up over time, so I am not at the freaking out point yet, and remain hopeful. I just wanted to know if anyone else had a low lying placenta, was it your 1st/2nd/etc. pregnancy, and what was the end result. Did it move? Did you require c-section? etc. 

Thanks in advance! :o)

I had the comparable situation and when I had my 0.33 ultrasound each little thing became out high quality. It had moved back to the place it may and my daughter became into born very wholesome without problems. moving shouldn't reason any problems, basically have your well being practitioner pass their scientific notes to your new well being practitioner.
