I appreciate your concern.

Placental grading refers to a ultrasound grading system of the placenta based on its maturity. There 4 types of grade: 0 to 3. Grading was based on the changes seen in ultrasound in three zones of placenta : chorionic plate, placental substance and basal layer, as the pregnancy advances.

Grade 1 maturity of of placenta is seen ultrasound during 18-29 weeks of pregnancy.
It is the earliest ultrasound changes of placental maturation.

In this grade, occasional parenchymal calcification and subtle indentations of chorionic plate are seen in ultrasound.

Hope you satisfy with this answer.
Take care.
