I was diagnosed with low-lying placenta at 20 weeks. The doctor told me not to worry at all because 80-90% of the time it moves up by delivery. Sure enough at my appointment yesterday (25 weeks) it had moved up and I was "cleared" from low-lying placenta.

12 weeks is still very early. Many woman have a low-lying placenta at that point but it usually resolves itself.

What did your doctor tell you about it?

I was diagnosed with a marginal previa at 19 weeks and given 0 restrictions. It was out of the way by 30 weeks.
90-95% of the time they move

Hey... I was diagnosed with a low lying placenta at 12 weeks.... At 20 weeks it had still not moved(was touching the edge of the cervix) I was sure I'd have to have a c section as something that was still in the same place at 12 and 20 weeks would surely not move but today I had my 32 week ultrasound to see where it was and its now 8 cm clear of my cervix! So pleased!!! Fingers crossed the same happens for you xxx
