Get further checked: A spot is an easy word when something other than normal is spotted. It may be just a normal thing but still need to be checked further. Dont panic and take it easy. It may be that they saw something and just want to make sure that it is not something that you need to be concerned about. Before giving you any clear signal they want more info...Good luck with your pregnancy and follow with the OB.
