DD was a special case with her need immediate surgery. But she had APGARs of 9 and 9, which was awesome considering she was delivered at 34+1 weeks.
I was told 10 days before "turn up next Friday for your c/s".
She was on a ventilator for 4 days afterwards (mainly as a precaution, they wanted her to recover from the surgery and not waste too much engery on breathing on her own), but she was still doing most of her own breathing.
She has never had any issues with her breathing.
