Low placenta

I’m 18 weeks and having terrible abdominal pains. Assuming it’s because of constipation or bloating or gas. Got worried and went to nearest TMC to check if baby is okay. Fortunately, baby is but that costed me $300. Ugh. Also, the doc mentioned my placenta is abit low. Do I need to be worried? I looked it up on google and some articles mentioned placenta praevia. Some mentioned once it reaches 3rd tri, the uterus will expand more and placenta would likely go higher.

I had spotting during my 18th week and my gynae told me that my placenta is still low so was advised to rest and mentioned that as pregnancy progresses, the placenta moves up. During my 20th week scan, it did move up! so don't worry too much mumma! take care!
