Low lying placenta at this gestation age doesn't decide management protocol so don't worry nd your doctor will do serial scan to see location of placenta nd confirmation of low lying placenta will be done at 32 week nd management plan will be decided on that.

With Slight bleeding u still can hv a healthy baby
Yes with profuse bleeding in a low lying placenta u may end up in an abortion
If the placenta persists to be low lying at 36 weeks u will end up in a cesarean section at 37 completed weeks
Profuse bleeding may lead to preterm delivery
This wud generally move up by 22 to 24 weeks
Till then u need rest abstinence and avoid pelvic jerk
