Posterior Placenta Previa - need experiences

had my 20 weeks scan two weeks ago, which reveales I have a posterior placenta previa (8 mm covering the cervix).

My midwives said there is good hope that it will move up, but in the meantime they referred me to the hospital midwives to have more checks in between and to better monitor me.
Today I had my first appointment at the hospital and the midwife didn’t check my placenta, she told me they will only measure it by 32 weeks, so in the meantime they would only make an external ultrasound to check the baby etc.

Based on the info , she told me that since it is posterior, she does not expect that it will move up, so I will likely need a c section. On the opposite, anterior have higher chances to move.

I feel sad and frustrated. I am afraid of bleeding, I am disappointed i will not be enjoying this pregnancy as I was expecting to and I feel confused by the contradicting info I get from my midwives, on the web etc.

I also feel bad about having a c-section.

Anybody with a posterior previa that moved?

My first child lost about that in the first day but he was 3500g at birth so it was less significant. He was born on the 50th percentile but ended up following the 2nd percentile line throughout childhood.
