Since the placenta is low lying, there are chances of having vaginal bleeding. However more than half of the patients will not have any bleeding episode. And this problem resolves by itself most of the times as the uterus enlarges amd placenta moves up along with it. So no worries. U can walk around at home. However avoid travelling, intercourse and exercises till the next scan which is anomaly scan.
