Question 1

what is a healthy bmi for a woman 5'1 and 102 pounds?  is this a safe weight to carry a baby?

Accepted Answer

YOUR BMI is normal: Your bmi is 19-20 and that is normal. You should be able to carry a baby. Most women gain weight during pregnancy anyway so you should be ok. Being healthy when you conceive is more important than bmi as a single indicator.

Question 2

what is the normal or healthy weight/bmi  for a woman of 24yrs & height of 5'4?

Accepted Answer

About 120 lbs: One easy equation for weight is to be 100 lbs for 5 feet and then add about 5 lbs per inch.  So for 5'4'' an average weight would be 120 lbs plus or minus about 10 lbs.  If you are severely overweight you should not expect to get down to that weight though.
