9 and 10

[feeb]

Its a score done on newborn babies at 1 and 5 mins of age looking at there colour, heart rate, reflex, muscle tone and breathing. Depending on these results depends if a baby gets 0 1 or 2 for each. When added all together gives a score of 0 to 10. A score of 7 or above is normal, below that baby is needing some form of resusitation.

Hope that helps a bit.

DD was 9 & 9 - she was screaming her lungs out when born so I knew she was breathing, which was a huge relief for me & DH - that was the main thing we were concerned about!
