I'm a 21 year old female with a soon to be 4 year old son, my height is 5ft 2 and i weigh 128lb , is this a normal weight?

Yes, normal: Given the numbers you provided your weight is completely normal. Your body mass index (BMI) is 23.4, which is fine. [Normal range for 21 yr old female BMI is 18-25]

Yes: Yes, you have a normal weight. Also, instead of ht/wt I would recommend being more concerned about where is your weight, we want to avoid weight in the midsection, as excess belly fat can lead to diabetes and heart disease, so the goal for women is to have waist circumference (at belly button) less than 35 inches and ultimate goal would be 1/2 your height in inches which for you is 31 inches.
