  tOpens a new windowhis article states that a placenta is normally formed as one piece, sometimes it can be a few pieces and the smallest piece being a succenturiate lobe.

  From what I understand a succenturiate lobe means you have your main part of the placenta and then there's a little piece a short distance away from the main part but still connected to the big piece by veins etc. (if that makes sense). 
  If you google there are a few cartoon pics and some real photos of succenturiate placentas so beware if you're squeamish. 
  
  So glad bub is measuring well :)
