Wow this thread is old hehe.

Brendan wasn't even placed on my chest but taken immediately for resuscitation (born 30+1 weeks) he scored apgars of 2 at 1 min (even though resus had already begun) and 4 at 5 mins.

Tristan was placed on my chest and taken when his breathing started getting laboured at roughly 1 minute, he scored a 6 at 1 min and 6 at 5 min. He was born 34+3 weeks.

As pointed out, the test is done visually and takes seconds, you won't even notice it being done.
