I'm 16 years old. I got pregnant at 14 (my son is now 10 months) and when I got pregnant I weighed 150. At the end of my pregnancy I weighed 206, I was 5'10". i am now 5'8" and weigh 125.

Just wondering, what is the normal weight for a girl at my height since I've had a baby? Is it still the same?


p.s.
Before the baby I was anerexic and now when I eat I only lose weight, I can't seem to gain any... tho I really don't want to because I feel I am pretty much huge as I am

125 and 5'8

Maybe for you that would be ideal. Anything less, then your just going down another path that is unhealthy for you.

Did you get any counseling done? If not I would advice it.

It is best to take care of yourself properly. Especially now that you brought a baby into this world.

I do agree with Jesushelper76.

You need to stay healthy to raise your son. Nowadays, children are picking up their parents habits and 10 year olds are beginning to think that they're fat and need to look skinny like models on TV.

You seem to be at a normal weight but very close to being underweight - Calculate your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator (http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/)
You should be eating around 2000 calories & require food with nutrients in order to grow, because you're 16 and your body is still developing. It's for you & the baby.
