The APGAR test is done by a doctor, midwife, or nurse. The health care provider will examine the baby's: 1  Breathing effort. 2  Heart rate. 3  Muscle tone. 4  Reflexes. 5  Skin color.
What is the Apgar score? The Apgar score is a simple, painless and effective check used by midwives and doctors to assess your newborn's health. Once carried out, the results of the check are given as a score out of 10. At one minute after birth, and again at five minutes after birth, your midwife will evaluate your baby's wellbeing.
