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 also had low placenta during my early pregnancy and it was still low during week 20 detailed scanning. Doctor mentioned that mostly it will moves up. During my last check up at week 23, it has moved up. Don’t worry too much about it, but try to have more rest and don’t carry heavy stuffs.

Thank you. Hopefully it’ll move up by my next scan 20th week too.
