Hi, I have gone through your question and understand.Stippling in the placenta means that there is calcification in the placenta, and is is normal if not very extensive at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Moreover, the stippling of placenta is increased in conditions like pregnancy pre eclampsia due to decreased blood supply to the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
