I have read that 4D ultrasounds are good for viewing the face of the baby and external features but someone told me that they are good at finding heart defects. Is this true? When you look at pictures of a 4D ultrasound it appears that they only look at the baby externally. We can have one at 28 weeks due to the fact that our first baby died from pulmonary atresia. Would the 4D ultrasound be valuable? We have already had a fetal echo that looked great.

Thank you! Halley
