What causes a low Apgar score?

If your baby gets a low Apgar score, she may need oxygen or to have her airway cleared out, or she may need some physical stimulation to get her heart rate up. Most of the time, a low Apgar score is the result of difficult birth, a C-section or fluid in the baby's airway.
