At 31 weeks grade 3 maturity of placenta is hypermature placenta
The reason could be high blood pressure

Placental grade is not a very accurate sign to find out any problems in the baby. Since the baby weight was normal, the scan seems to be normal at present. The blood flow (Doppler) would have also been checked during the scan, which if good, then it's a normal scan.
You will be closely monitored with routine scans (about 2-4 weekly) to check the growth and blood flow to the baby and your BP will also need to be monitored.
