Try and be calm.... it might move, and if it does you'll be able to have a normal birth. Don't google it and worry yourself.

If it doesn't well you'll have a CS. Just be very thankful for modern medicine becuase before scans and safe operations women (and their babies) died in childbirth because of this....

Just by seeing threads on here, it seems many do move in time.
Mine didn't and I had to have a c-section. Which was fine, I recovered quickly and was out very soon.
As MumNW says, we're lucky nowadays.

I had a low lying placenter too but when I went for my 32 week scan it had moved up right out the way. I can't remember the percentage exactly but my sonographer told me that a really high proportion of low lying placenters actually end up moving up, so there is a good chance you have nothing to worry about... Good luck!

I think every other pregnant woman I speak to at the moment has this. including me. Scan in the new year to see if it has moved.

I really wouldn't stress about it until then, I understand the vast majority to do move.
