Alesha, It is hard to say for sure why they want another look. In my case, I do all my ultrasounds myself. In some settings, the perinatologist has techs perform the ultrasounds and they review the scan at the end. In a small percentage, the perinatologist has techs perform the scan and they then review the films after the fact. If the later were the case, it could be the perinatologist was not happy with the quality of the imaging as reflected on the film and wants a better look. Since they did not say there was anything suspicious, I would assume this is the case... Lynn
