placenta previa check in :-)

So I know we've have a thread or 4 about this but I wanted to see how everyone was making out since finding out about their placenta? Has yours moved? How far along are you? If it hasn't moved has your Dr or Midwife scheduled your c section? Just basically how are we all holding up?
I'm 34 weeks tomorrow, had my ultra sound today and my placenta hasn't budged. My Dr wanted it 4cm away and it is firmly planted at .6cm away (same as a month ago). Tomorrow I meet with my Dr to schedule our c section for 37 weeks. My concern is that according to the ultra sound tech my little man only weighs 3.17lbs, she said it's not definite, that his weight could be a lb heavier or a lb lighter, not that that made me feel any better. So I have 3 weeks to just HOPE he gains enough weight. I mean we will see what the Dr says tomorrow, I know he wants him out early enough so I don't go into labor naturally and I'm sure he won't take him out if he's too small, just a lot to sleep on and can't wait to ask a ton of questions tomorrow :-)
So how's everyone else's progress?

Re: placenta previa check in :-)
I think it's weird that some doctors say 2cm is fine and some say 4cm is needed.
I just left my drs office and since it's still .6cm away he wants to move forward with scheduling the c section, however, my little guy is small so we're going with 39 weeks instead of 37 to give him him time to cook and if I have any contractions at all before the scheduled appt I need to go straight in and they will do an emergency c section. That put me a little at ease at least, being able to wait until 39 weeks. He wants to do another ultra sound between 36-37 weeks to check his growth too. Right now he's in the 15th percentile and if he slips down to the 10th percentile it could mean he's not getting enough to eat so he'd need to come on out anyways. Some good n some not so good news but I'll take it :-)
FX for all!
