yes it is the placenta maturation- refers to a ultrasound grading system of the placenta based on its maturity. This primarily affects the extent of calcifications. <br>
Grade 0- <18 weeks uniform echogenicity smooth chorionic plate..<br>
grade 1-  18-29 weeks occasional parenchymal calcification/hyperechoic areas subtle indentations of chorionic plate<br>
grade 2- >30 weeks occasional basal calcification/hyperechoic areas deeper indentations of chorionic plate (does not reach up to basal plate)seen as comma type densities at the chorionic plate<br>
grade 3-  >39 weeks significant basal plate calcification chorionic plate interrupted by indentations (frequently calcified) that reach up to basal plate- cotyledons<br>
an early progression to a grade 3 placenta is concerning and is sometimes associated with placental insufficiency associated with smoking, chronic hypertension, SLE, diabetes...

hi sony, it is the maturation of placenta. placenta starts from grade 0. as pregnancy advances, it goes to grade 1,2,3 like that...
