Don't be scared.  Your doctor should have told you that a low lying placenta or placenta previa is VERY common earlier in pregnancy and often shifts and moves up.  I had this too with my second pregnancy and by 30 weeks, it was completely lifted and I had a regular birth.  So, odds are, your placenta will shift up and off your cervix like it does for most women.  If not, it just means C section and planned delivery (as you can't go into natural labor).  So, try not to worry.  Most likely this will not be the case for you.  good luck
