APGAR is a test that is performed on your baby twice after birth, at 1 minute and at 5 minutes of life.  The tests can be done while you hold your baby as they are merely observations.  The score at 1 minute indicates how well your baby tolerated being born and the score at 5 minutes indicates how well your baby is doing now that he/she is outside of the womb.  If the scores are poor at 1 and/or 5 minutes the test may be performed again at 10 minutes…
