It means nothing at present.
You will have to do many scans before you deliver. If the scans done after 32 weeks show a similar report then the Gynaecologist will get worried.
You should worry only if you have any blood stained discharge.

Placenta low lying in the first trimester is common. It should start growing upwards with the development of the foetus. But you need to be watching for any bleeding or spotting
