Hello,
There is nothing to worry about the placental maturity as per your obstetric sonogram. A maturity of grade II is corresponding to your stage of pregnancy. Also, the terminology used by different medical centers can vary a little. While some use the grade 0 as the initial grade, others use the grade 1 as the initial grade. Whatever it is, the findings are more important. Occasional parenchymal calcification and subtle indentation of the chorionic plate are observed at this stage of pregnancy. Deeper indentations and basal calcifications are observed after 30 weeks. Hope this helps.
