Is grade 2 maturity at 20 weeks is normal... Have read that grade 2 doesn't appear until up to 30 weeks so was bit concerned

Attaching my reports. Plz do let me know. Today only had visited my doctor and she said every thing is perfect but still worried about this.

The report is absolutely normal.
But you are right, the placenta does not have grade 2 maturity at 20 weeks.
A hypermature placenta is associated with adverse outcomes for the baby and mother, but going through the images, I find your placenta to be fine, and not hypermature.
Please contact the scanning doctor and request for a clarification.
I am sure they have made some mistake in typing .
Keep me posted.
Dont worry, everything seems to be fine in the scan and images.
