Hi
Placenta can be situated in anterior, posterior and lateral walls of the uterus. It can be low lying or normally situated. Among these the cause for worry is a low lying placenta. As you are just 33 weeks pregnant there is still time for placenta to migrate up. An anterior placenta is a cause for concern only when it is low lying otherwise not.
Thanks
