- Oxygen (O2): 95-100%
Baby's Vital Signs
- Blood Pressure (BP): Systolic 60-80 mmHg, Diastolic 40-50 mmHg
- Heart Rate (HR): 110-160 bpm (can be 180 if crying, can be 100 if sleeping)
- Respiratory Rate (RR): 30-60 breaths/minute
- Temperature (T): 97.7-99.5°F (36.5-37.5°C)(axillary)
Stages of Labor
