125 is healthy for the average woman of your height, but it really depends on your bone density, amount of muscle mass, genetics, etc. Don't focus on the numbers on the scale too much. Look in the mirror and be your own judge. If you look thin and are leading a healthy lifestyle, then don't worry about it. If you think you need to shed a few inches, then add some daily exercise and eat more healthily.

Yes it is very normal I am 25 I turn 26 in about a month and I too have a 5 year old, and like you I am 5'4". I just lost weight last year and before I did I wanted to know what is normal for my height and here is the breakdown:
small frame-115-135
medium frame 120-140
large frame 125-150
apparently if you have a large frame you can carry more weight, but that is how it all breaks down you are doing fine don't worry at all and if you are happy with how you look don't worry about anyone else.

Not necessarily, depending on your bone structure. My wife is five-five; when we were married she weighed about 135 and looked GREAT, but she has big shoulders and hips.
We went to Acapulco on our honeymoon and she came down with something Really Bad -- worse than the usual Montezuma's Revenge. She couldn't keep anything down for weeks. Her weight dropped to 123 and she looked like a ZOMBIE. I'd rather have her ten pounds over than ten pounds under, but I'm not a fashion designer -- I like women with curves. Makes 'em look grown-up...

toss the scale out the window.
How do you feel? Do you get an hour+ of exercise each day? Do you eat well? Is your body fat % within reason? Do you sleep well? Do you smoke?
Your weight is absolutely fine....but it is only a small part of your "health".
I know some extremely healthy women at 5'4" who are closer to 140...solid solid athletes. And, I know some very unhealthy girls at 5'4 and 122 pounds or so.
Talk to your doctor, examine your lifestyle, inventory how you "feel" to yourself...and go from there.

Oh! Yes that is very skinny for a mother too! In fact, that's even skinny for anyone. I'm 18, and I'm 5'4 and I'm 123 pounds! Don't worry about it, your still really skinny.

weight really doesnt mean anything, it all depends on your health and muscle compared to fat. However, 125 lbs for 5'4'' person sounds like an ideal weight.

Well, judging by my sister, you are heavier than her. She's 27 yrs. old, 5"5 and 114 lbs., but keep in mind she's never had a kid. Don't sweat it.
