Depends on whether your asking prenatal, intrapartal, or postpartum.

Baseline for a normal adult (not pregnant):

BP: 100-140/60-90 mm Hg

Pulse: 60-100 beats per min (bpm)

Respirations: 16-20/minute

Temperature: 35-38 degrees centergrade

Pulseoximeter (if used) 95% or greater

Intrapartal during the first stage of labor, the normal findings are the following:

BP: <130 systolic and <85 diastolic

Pulse: 60-90 bpm

Respirations: 14-22/minute (or pulse rate divided by 4)

Temperature: 36.2-37.6 degrees centergrade (98-99.6 F)

*Keep in mind their are variations depending on where you live (US,UK,CAN,AUS, etc) and different texts/schools*
