She was whisked away first thing though, so once she came back, they told me as many positive things they could to make me feel better about it. She was a 9/9 I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456120 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:44:43 +0000 sarac 456120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was born distressed and the code team immediately came in. I heard them call it out, other wise I wouldn't have known without reading her chart. At birth and at one minute her apgar was 1, It was 3 at 5 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456107 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:37:53 +0000 purrpletulips 456107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no but the hospital had electronic medical records so everything went right into the computer and then the pedi was able to see it in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456093 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:34:30 +0000 Ree723 456093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one mentioned it but they were written down in my LO's red book (the red book is the child's health book that we take to every doctor's appt from birth up until they are 5 years old). LO had a 9 on both Apgar tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456083 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:32:18 +0000 heffalump 456083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They told us, she had a 9, then a 10.

I guess it really doesn't matter in the long run. I could probably guess pretty well as to what they were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456050 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:25:11 +0000 hilsy85 456050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, ours were 9 and 9. The pedi asked us what they were, so I don't think she would have found out if we didn't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456035 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:21:35 +0000 autumnlove 456035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they told me but I don't remember! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-they-tell-you-your-babys-apgar-scores#post-456031 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:20:39 +0000 BeachMama 456031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't told.

Do you know what your LO's Apgar scores were?</p> <p>I wish I knew. Do you think the pediatrician has them in their file? I'm really curious! </p>
