Placenta does shift a little as the pregnancy advances. It is due to a differential between the growth of the size of the uterus and the size of the placenta.
You are just 12 weeks. So complete bed rest for 28 weeks may not be possible.
You should not over exert yourself and cut down your outdoor activities to the minimum. Get a sonography after 2 weeks. Things may be better.

Hi
As the pregnancy advances placeta will migrate upwards
But because it is low lying now
Take precautions
Avoid travel exercise and sex
And adequate bedrest
