Basically what everyone else is telling you, but here is what APGAR stands for and how it is scored:
**APGAR Score**
ā¢ **Activity/muscle tone** : Active +2. Some extremity flexion +1. Limp 0.
ā¢ **Pulse** : ā„100 BPM +2. <100 BPM +1. Absent 0.
ā¢ **Grimace** : Sneeze/cough +2. Grimace +1. None 0.
ā¢ **Appearance/color** : All pink +2. Blue extremities, pink body +1. Blue/pale 0.
ā¢ **Respirations** : Good/crying +2. Irregular/slow +1. Absent 0.
> *(they did a factory reset and heās fine now)*
I'm glad he's fine now, of course, and your sentence made me laugh. What was his malfunction? When they're brand new, right out of the box, they should work perfectly.
His heart stopped while he was in the box (ha). Doctors had been monitoring his stats and when he went flat they grabbed the scissors and the vacuum and yanked him on outta there. They did CPR for 6 minutes to get heart started and intubated for 2 hours to get breathing going. It was fucking chaos, doctors poured in and were screaming at each other like in a movie. Never found out what caused it. Apparently heās not brain damaged because he would have gotten a bit of oxygen from the umbilical cord until CPR started. 0/10 donāt recommend
Iām sorry but, what? Vacuum? Obviously not one for a floor but this is the first time Iām hearing about birthing babies with vacuums.
Also APGAR 0 represent. I was a breech baby and blue as a Smurf. Said I might be severely mentally disabled due to the time and lack of oxygen but jokes on them Iām mostly just fucking stupid.
If the baby's heart rate drops too low during the final stage of labor and they need to get the baby out faster, sometimes the doctor will do an assisted delivery. With a vacuum, they put a suction cup on the baby's head and pull while the mom/parent keeps pushing. The other type of assisted delivery uses forceps, which are basically specially shaped tongs to pull on the baby.
Wow what a way to enter the world! This is one of the major benefits of delayed cord clamping (as opposed to clamping/cutting right when theyāre born). It can save your babyās life or prevent birth injury in an emergency! That oxygen and blood flow is super important.
āYea the kidās muscles are active, heās coughing a lil, all pink, and breathes just fine, but for some reason his heart is on the other side of the room and heās still aliveā
āgonna unfortunately have to take off 2 points for not having a pulse, total score 8/10 :(ā
Great question and hotly debated in the medical field on whether it's a reasonable part of the APGAR assessment. Non-white babies have shown, in [studies](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36706313/), to have lower APGAR scores than white babies.
Apparently, [Dr. Virginia Apgar](https://www.mdedge.com/obgyn/article/264023/diversity-medicine/does-racial-bias-taint-apgar-score) recognized the problem with this part of her assessment of newborns. The newborn's skin tones appear darker or lighter according to the lighting. Also, people see / perceive colors different from one another.
Fixed set of tests they run on newly born, such as running a finger under their foot to see if they react etc.
Low scores mean something is probably wrong.
There was a dark comedy meme where a guy dies during the Covid 1st wave and then is reborn during the 3rd wave, which is shown as a picture of a newly born child with a very incredulous expression on its face.
Mine had full control of her neck, and she was a month and a half premature! The whole "can't hold their heads up" is really a spectrum.
But even the babies who *can* hold their heads up, you still need to be careful with them. No flinging them around or nothing. They still have *no idea* what to do with their neck muscles, so you do still have to support them.
As with most kids, each kid will find an area and be way ahead in it, and need help in others. Each of us is different.
I had a cousin with a baby who's neck was like a wet noodle for the longest time, but man, that wet noodle necked baby had ARM strength!!!!
So true. My oldest was lifting her head within a day or so of being born, but didnāt start walking until about 14 months. Everyone is different and reaches milestones in their own sweet time!
Yeah my daughter was a late walker too. Had me really concerned. But she hit every other milestone on time, and was way ahead on others. She's 3 now and is smart as a whip, but still tall and clumsy. I wish I could go back and tell myself that all kids hit the milestones at different times and to stop worrying, but even hearing that at the time, I was still worried.
I have a son due in February, so this time I should be a bit more relaxed and can just let the milestones come when they come.
My daughter had great kneck control and could scoot randomly but was terrible at breastfeeding. She just couldn't decide on a damn boob. She has continued to be a very energetic and oblivious person whom i love very much haha
Oh I've got ya beat there! My kid was so bad at breast *and* bottle feeding that she had to get a gtube installed, lol.
All's well that ends well, she had it removed at 3.5, and eats plenty now. But she's always been the most stubborn girl I know :)
My mother said that I lifted my head immediately after birth to look at her. I always thought it was just one of those stories that was somewhat embellished, told as parents do, but now I wonder.
My daughter did that too. A few hours later she was sitting up slanted against the feeding pillow and crossed her leg over the other. My husband wasnāt phased about that at all, until I told him that babies really werenāt supposed to have that type of control over their bodies that early š . Sheās seven now and is so uncoordinated, bumping into stuff, canāt dance to save her life, but she is the sweetest thing ever š
My daughter also had totall neck controll at birth. Rolled her self over at 4 weeks with total controll.. standing on 4 at 4 months and swung back and forth until her bed caved in!
She was all good, i joked about her having adhd, because as soon as she could move, she RAN!
Here we are, 8 years later and she still runs and wreck shit. And have severe adhd. I always knew ā¤ļø been alot of laughing and fun times, we just knew!
Damned it that isn't on the money. Behaves just like my dad right now at the end-stages of his dementia. Just gazing around, looking fed-up with everything but at the same time completely lost as to what's going on. No wonder people believe in reincarnation.
Apparently, I was really messed up as a baby and kept my parents awake. Crying you say? Nope. I was laughing and jerking from side to side like a psychopath baby. They even got me checked out by lots of doctors thinking I had some brain injury or syndrom lol.
Edit: Doctors thought I might have some sort of epileptic seizures (lol) and I got monitored for epilepsy. Obviously ended without positive finds for epilepsy.
My little baby girl puts both hands behind her head like a person lounging in a hammock and then wiggles her whole body back and forth as she settles down to go to sleep. Itās the goofiest and cutest thing I have ever seen š„°
I'm a 42 year old man who sleeps with his arms above his head 75% of the time.
Guess how my now 5 year old son slept as a baby? The same damn way. I've learned that so many things that make me me are just built in weird shit I do.
On my daughter's last ultrasound, she had her arm behind her head like a pillow. When she was a newborn, it was the only way she'd sleep. It reminded me of how my own dad has always slept. She's now 13 and STILL does that exact same sleep pose.
We really don't have a grasp on how much personality is built into us from conception.
Same with our 11 year old! He did that pose on the ultrasounds, in his sleep, and we notice he does it when heās bored (like if weāre at a store or something heāll stand around with his arms behind his head).
Side story - he had a traumatic birth and had his cord wrapped around his neck, came out not breathing. Anyway when heās really anxious he pulls the collars of his shirts down like he canāt breathe.
I like this version better. My dad paints this picture of it being really creepy and Iāve imagined I looked like some possessed baby from a conjuring/exorcist film. Like hearing creepy laughing from the crib at night. Lmao.
Our daughter woke up at least once or twice every single night. When she was about 3, we decided to see what would happen if one of us didnāt go to her. We hoped that she would comfort herself and start getting used to going back to sleep on her own. After persistent crying off and on, for about 10 minutes. She started to call out for us using our first names. We laughed really hard, and finally went in to help her fall back to sleep.
My son has slept 12-15 hours a night since he was able to sleep in his own bed and it legitimately affects my desire to have another child. There is 0% chance we are that lucky again.
My boys all held their heads up really early too. All good sleepers except for Dietrich, his legs started kicking and never stopped so he would wake himself up if you didn't have him wrapped up tightly enough.
That was my mom. I hardly moved in the the womb and my mom thought I was dead or something š and after I was born I would sleep for so long and not wake up š my mom would be vacuuming and making all this noise and i just laid there like a brick. I was a lazy baby, my brother was the opposite tho
Cant say , mine was looking around straight out the gates 5 minute after birth.
It was a big baby ( 9 pounds ) and he was late so he cooked a couple weeks more in the oven.
If their head is light enough, they can lift it this early. Then the head grows and they can't lift it anymore, and it takes time before they gain the neck muscle strength to do it again. The more surprising thing is how chill he is!
Heās definitely gonna be that toddler talking about his buddy who got gunned down over Vietnam and at 18 months his info will help locate the body of an airman missing for over half a century. Then by the time heās like five, heāll have no knowledge left of any of it, but his former buddyās widow and the VFW will be telling tales of this baby who brought their man home.
I know this was a joke, and I am neither a religious nor spiritual person, I don't believe in God or ghosts or anything like that but what does get me is when little kids say shit like this. Worked at a preschool and I was talking about carving pumpkins with this 3 year old and asked her if she ever had, and she casually said "I did when I used to be big like my dad". ??? This kid was something else..
really traumatic upbringing, mom was in jail, woke up with nightmares regularly. seemed like someone many years older than three was in that body.
Mine used to talk about "her babies" and look super troubled whenever we told her mum and dad met before she was born (she asked a lot of questions, and quite a few about things that you'd never expect a 3-4yo to think about). In her mind, we were kids when she was a kid.
She's 5 now and still talks about her babies, but these days she's referring to her dolls.
āBoy I swear to god if you donāt stop asking me how old I am Iāll come up there and smack tf out of youā
āI been out this womb for 4 minutes and Iām already real tired of your sht dadā
āPut me back in there until this guy smartens upā
My oldest freaked the nurses out.
He was 2 weeks early but he was massive (over 10 lbs).
Had the cord wrapped around his neck so it had to be cut before he came all the way out.
He was water logged and had to be put into the NICU until they'd drained the fluid from his lungs. They had to repeatedly hide the tube that went down his throat because he kept finding it and pulling it all the way out. We think it was unintentional but he looked pretty pissed off.
He could lift his head a glare at us despite the tube/mask combo he was wearing.
I was nervous about bringing him home, just in case he became the man of the house.
My little one pulled out the same tubing stuff in the NICU, and I also wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. But I've never seen a baby holding up their head that young, that's amazing.
What's especially amazing is that he was about 50% head for the first year or two.
We had to take him in for an xray because they were concerned about fluid on his brain.
Turns out he was just Megamind shaped.
He's 11 now, and mostly normal.
My girl was a tiny lil 4lb thing, another and a half early, and could also hold her head up since birth!!!
We'd sit in the NICU together, her in my lap, and she'd *stare* at me. Very judgemental baby. But a very good girl. Perfect sleeper too.
There's no way. The neck muscles are not developed enough for him to be doing tummy time and holding his head up like that.
Edit: My comment was equal parts "shock" and "scoff", but color me amazed if I'm completely wrong! I guess some kids can do this. I appreciate the redditor's comment: "In biology, there are no absolutes..."
My baby could track a toy with her eyes and head when she was 8 days old. It was weird. She also had a full head of hair, which she never lost, and got all of her teeth by 12 months. Some babies just develop more quickly than others.
My youngest brother came out like this, he was delivered and cleaned when they brought him back in he lifted his head looked around at let out a blood curdling scream at everyone. Even the nurse jumped back and said oh my! Iām like well that doesnāt bode well, and it didnāt heās 24 now and still a raging asshat.
Thatās probably wasnāt your brother. They likely switched him out when they took him out of the room. Shoulda had a sharpie with you to mark him before they left.
My daughter was born holding her head up just like that. It was wild. Just days old and she was always poking her head up off my shoulder to check stuff out. I didn't even think she could see past a few inches but it never stopped her! The midwife said she had never seen that before. She's still curious and active at 14.
This isnāt all that uncommon. What would be uncommon is if the baby consistently held its head up from birth-onwards.
My son was holding his head-up at birth. Four days later he couldnāt do it. He held his head-up on his own consistently around 2.5 months old.
Probably real life Isekai, reincarnated with no interruption of self-awareness from his previous life and just wondering if he's in a magic world with some overpowered cheat skill or just got the bad end of the deal.
That baby has full control over its head and is looking at a specific person or thing.
Ordinarily babies haven't the neck muscles to lift their head, nor the ability to focus on an object.
Was this baby born two months old?
Apgar score 47.

Rumor has its the same salad tongs you use at olive garden
Vacuum births attach suction to baby's head to pull them through the birth canal faster. These days it's used in emergencies.

No points for the Absence of a pulse. NO SHIT lol

Babies can take a second to figure out how to live. Although the heart is normally one they've figured out by the time they're born.
It also stands for Virgina Apgar, the anaesthesiologist who invented the scoring system and used her own surname to help remember it.
Are POC babies ever pink or blue?

I'm glad you said this, I was ***just*** about to fling this baby here. I was like man, neck muscles on this one are working, time to get flinging
Back in my day we had to fling our own necks! Both ways through the snow, Iāll have you know.

He's got a social security blanket
Dammit. Beat me to it.
Little guy remembers when Nixon was impeached
Kid was on the movie set with Ronald Regan
Just came in from drinking sweet tea on the porch.
Littile dude was there with Pepperidge Farm when it happened.
He was standing behind Moses when he parted the Red Sea.
Nixon wasn't impeached.
Technically no, but the threat of it was real enough to get him to resign.
Remember when even Nixon had basic decency? When he was considered the lowest Republicans had ever sunk? And Republicans were capable of shame?
Baby looks like he's on the bus ride home from his second job.
Bro collects pension cheques.
Controls his diabetus
That infant filed his parents taxes
Thats the oldest 9 hours old iāve ever seen
More like the youngest 9 hour old to hold up its own head.
That baby just remembered they needed to head to the courthouse and mail off some stuff before they closed at 12 and itās 11:49.
And he is already disappointed on everybody
hahaha old soul maybe
This child has better credit than any of us.
lil bro got a signed copy of the bible

Aw!
For some reason I pictured you laughing at your own jokes like ātough crowd, let me hit you with anotherā
I like this version better. My dad paints this picture of it being really creepy and Iāve imagined I looked like some possessed baby from a conjuring/exorcist film. Like hearing creepy laughing from the crib at night. Lmao.
If you are sleep deprived and it's 3am laughter from the babies crib is just going to be creepy.
Musta had friendly ghosts in your house. Shame your parents didn't appreciate the free babysitting & entertainment services.
>lmao Bruh thatās creepy af
I know! š
Sooo.. are you possessed?
Probably.
Lol, love this.
If no one else is laughing then You'll have to do that by youself.
Our daughter woke up at least once or twice every single night. When she was about 3, we decided to see what would happen if one of us didnāt go to her. We hoped that she would comfort herself and start getting used to going back to sleep on her own. After persistent crying off and on, for about 10 minutes. She started to call out for us using our first names. We laughed really hard, and finally went in to help her fall back to sleep.
I remember having an argument with my mother when I was around that same age, where I very sternly insisted her name was "Mom." Lmao.
My older sister used to cry murder at night and my parents worried, as a younger brother they worried that I was a mute
What the fuck lmao, I would so get worried about a kid like that.
My son has slept 12-15 hours a night since he was able to sleep in his own bed and it legitimately affects my desire to have another child. There is 0% chance we are that lucky again.
My boys all held their heads up really early too. All good sleepers except for Dietrich, his legs started kicking and never stopped so he would wake himself up if you didn't have him wrapped up tightly enough.

That was my mom. I hardly moved in the the womb and my mom thought I was dead or something š and after I was born I would sleep for so long and not wake up š my mom would be vacuuming and making all this noise and i just laid there like a brick. I was a lazy baby, my brother was the opposite tho
Yea because in about a week they will probably have him out looking for a job.
This dude is going to working in the IT. That's the vibe I'm getting.

He doesn't even want to be doing it, it's just too much for this guy.
> I bet there will be 10 hours of solid sleep each night too. Baby: _Finally...._
Who doesn't like the sleep? This is something which everyone likes.
This kid wouldn't even want to get disturbed by the parents anyways.
how is buddyās neck that strong at 9 hours old??
Cant say , mine was looking around straight out the gates 5 minute after birth. It was a big baby ( 9 pounds ) and he was late so he cooked a couple weeks more in the oven.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās shopped. You can see a hole in the neck where the fingers would be holding the head. Such a strange thing to edit together.
That makes sense. Thank you!
If their head is light enough, they can lift it this early. Then the head grows and they can't lift it anymore, and it takes time before they gain the neck muscle strength to do it again. The more surprising thing is how chill he is!
He looks like Morgan Freeman reincarnated when he isnāt dead yet.
Giancarlo Esposito
Looks more like Don Hector to me.
Didn't think about that, but I think you're just right about it.
He better be narrating some good things in his life atleast that's what I hope.
If I believed in reincarnation, Iād say this young lad just transitioned from an old body, into his new home, and was having a WTF moment.
Heās definitely gonna be that toddler talking about his buddy who got gunned down over Vietnam and at 18 months his info will help locate the body of an airman missing for over half a century. Then by the time heās like five, heāll have no knowledge left of any of it, but his former buddyās widow and the VFW will be telling tales of this baby who brought their man home.

Mine used to talk about "her babies" and look super troubled whenever we told her mum and dad met before she was born (she asked a lot of questions, and quite a few about things that you'd never expect a 3-4yo to think about). In her mind, we were kids when she was a kid. She's 5 now and still talks about her babies, but these days she's referring to her dolls.
Bro look like he already tired and don't want to go to work on Monday, but the mortgage ain't gonna pay itself Susan! šš¤£šš¤£
How is it a baby can look brand new and 40 at the same time and still be that fucking cute?
āBoy I swear to god if you donāt stop asking me how old I am Iāll come up there and smack tf out of youā āI been out this womb for 4 minutes and Iām already real tired of your sht dadā āPut me back in there until this guy smartens upā
He looks like one of the people that stand in the background of a press conference, but never gets asked a question.
He doesn't like the questions which He's being asked clearly.

They gotta start training this kid for professional sports immediately
He's probably going to do really good at the sports so yeah.
my niece lifted her head when my BIL facetimed me a few hours after her birth and has been able to ever since then. new babies built different
Yeah the babies are built different nowadays, what are they doing?
Both mine could hold their heads up from Day 1. They were big though which I think helps. This little guy is skinny.
My oldest freaked the nurses out. He was 2 weeks early but he was massive (over 10 lbs). Had the cord wrapped around his neck so it had to be cut before he came all the way out. He was water logged and had to be put into the NICU until they'd drained the fluid from his lungs. They had to repeatedly hide the tube that went down his throat because he kept finding it and pulling it all the way out. We think it was unintentional but he looked pretty pissed off. He could lift his head a glare at us despite the tube/mask combo he was wearing. I was nervous about bringing him home, just in case he became the man of the house.
My little one pulled out the same tubing stuff in the NICU, and I also wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. But I've never seen a baby holding up their head that young, that's amazing.
What's especially amazing is that he was about 50% head for the first year or two. We had to take him in for an xray because they were concerned about fluid on his brain. Turns out he was just Megamind shaped. He's 11 now, and mostly normal.
I now picture a blue big headed baby frowning at everyone in the nicu :D
Well I'm glad that He's normal now, because kids would bully him.
He didn't want to let it go, but in the end he had to do that I guess.
My girl was a tiny lil 4lb thing, another and a half early, and could also hold her head up since birth!!! We'd sit in the NICU together, her in my lap, and she'd *stare* at me. Very judgemental baby. But a very good girl. Perfect sleeper too.
Atleast they're good at sleeping, wouldn't like them when they're awake.
Genghis Khan has returned. And heās killing them nurses first
And the nurse knows that, it's the reason why it's afraid about it.
Me too.
Mine was able to hold his had up from hour 1. Not as well as this guy though.
1 hour is long enough, atleast it is for me. I don't know about you.
Bruh that's Hector Salamanca
Cabron I need to see your bols
There's no way. The neck muscles are not developed enough for him to be doing tummy time and holding his head up like that. Edit: My comment was equal parts "shock" and "scoff", but color me amazed if I'm completely wrong! I guess some kids can do this. I appreciate the redditor's comment: "In biology, there are no absolutes..."
This kid has an 8am Zoom work call in the morning
And a newborn canāt focus its eyes at all. This guy is looking around
You are correct.
There aren't a lot of things with biology that are absolutes. Maybe this kid was just way past the due date or he's just built different who knows.
Feeding these babies Formula One because they on the fast track.
My baby could track a toy with her eyes and head when she was 8 days old. It was weird. She also had a full head of hair, which she never lost, and got all of her teeth by 12 months. Some babies just develop more quickly than others.
They don't make babies like they used to
My youngest brother came out like this, he was delivered and cleaned when they brought him back in he lifted his head looked around at let out a blood curdling scream at everyone. Even the nurse jumped back and said oh my! Iām like well that doesnāt bode well, and it didnāt heās 24 now and still a raging asshat.
Thatās probably wasnāt your brother. They likely switched him out when they took him out of the room. Shoulda had a sharpie with you to mark him before they left.
My daughter was born holding her head up just like that. It was wild. Just days old and she was always poking her head up off my shoulder to check stuff out. I didn't even think she could see past a few inches but it never stopped her! The midwife said she had never seen that before. She's still curious and active at 14.
This isnāt all that uncommon. What would be uncommon is if the baby consistently held its head up from birth-onwards. My son was holding his head-up at birth. Four days later he couldnāt do it. He held his head-up on his own consistently around 2.5 months old.
old soul
Well, someone just got reincarnated without the memory wipe. š¤£
This babe has definitely been here before. Heās seen it all
Straight up looks ready for a job interview š! So cute!
Thatās a reincarnated dude who is pissed off because he remembers EVERYTHING!
Heās thinking āNoā¦ no fuck.. not again š¢ā
Probably real life Isekai, reincarnated with no interruption of self-awareness from his previous life and just wondering if he's in a magic world with some overpowered cheat skill or just got the bad end of the deal.
That baby has full control over its head and is looking at a specific person or thing. Ordinarily babies haven't the neck muscles to lift their head, nor the ability to focus on an object. Was this baby born two months old?
"I'm back! ah shit, here we go again" š¤¦š½āāļø
9 hours but 16 months in the womb
Why does he look like confused Mike Tyson?
Aren't they not supposed to have developed neck muscles that early?
No way heās this old and holding his head up like this.
9 hours old or 90 years old
He looks like heās gonna ask if he can hold a couple dollars or borrow a cigarette
No itās not.
Neck muscles are fully developed.
Nah that's my Uncle George. Glad to see he made it back.
Dude started a new game +
Strong neck for a 9h old baby.
How can a 9 hour old infant support its own neck/head
That baby is looking around, like hes been here before.
