Re: what was your childs apgar score?
Ummm, can I ask why you are curious?
Seems like an odd question to ask for this board.
Hmm, I can't remember. I would not worry too much about the particular number. That said, I know I tended to fixate on every fact I could grab onto for the first 6 months of having a "baby with mysterious issues", though. It's hard not to!
My guy has low tone, too. Do you guys go to PT?
To my knowledge he didn't get any apgar score. We knew of his diagnosis before birth and we knew he would have breathing problems from his heart defect. They were just focused on stabilizing him and getting him to the NICU. It's funny what becomes important in a medical emergency...definitely not a score or even a birth weight for that matter (well at least not until later).
My son's was zero. He wasn't breathing, moving, crying. He was blue and they had to intubate him.
Not a fun time..........
this.
Nate's were 5 & 7. He was a c-section labor failed to progress(1.5 centimeters dilated) with pitocin and ruptured membranes for 30 hours. I would think that the circumstances of the birth should be considered when you ask this question because they can/will contribute to APGAR.
Your question just seemd a bit random to me. Auntie explained it well (of course!)
My son's dev pedi cared too. I had a difficult pregnancy, was induced at 38 weeks even for low amniotic fluid. The induction lasted 80 hours, followed by a cesarean for failure to progress (never made it past 1.5 cm dilated). DS was wrapped back pack style in his umbilical cord and it was short, thus preventing vaginal birth.
His apgars were 8,9. He came out pink and screaming but needed oxygen.
He had and has motor planning issues and had delayed speech though no one ever mentioned they thought it related to his birth, I have my suspicions.
My sons were 1&2 or 2&3 it depends on if you ask me or DH. He has SPD, a ton of delays and other medical issues. I have always been asked when ever he has an eval about my pregnancy and his birth. I had a c-section at 35 weeks due to complete breach after my Pprom.
