What is average weight for 5'7 17-year-old girls?
== == * You need to look at your body mass index rather than your actual weight. This gives you an area which is safe and healthy to be within. You can find it anywhere, like bbc website or google it. It can be adapted for your age. * Be careful though. The BMI measures how much mass you have in comparison to your size. It makes no distinction between fat and muscle. People who have a high muscle mass will have a high BMI, also. It does not mean that you are fat.
What is the Average height 3 year old boy in inches?
I know you're thinking, I want to be taller, or I want to be shorter and are desperate to know how much you'll grow, but you really can't be sure. I can give you a fair idea though.
It's actually better to start puberty late. If you start at the age of 9 or 10, you find that you grow less than if you start at 14 or 15.
There are two stages of your growth spurt. There's the early couple of years, and the later time. Generally speaking, boys stop growing 6 years after they've started their growth spurt. In the first 2 years of it, you will grow 1.5 to 2.5 inches in a year. So if you're 5ft, you might make 5ft4 or 5ft5 after 2 years. But don't worry, you haven't finished growing. In the last couple of years, you grow between 2.5 and 4.5 inches in a year. Strictly speaking, most boys grow around 4 inches a year in that time (some boys may not even reach the second phase of the growth spurt while others will carry on till the age of 20 to 23). So in the last little while, you'll probably go from 5ft4 or 5ft5 to 5ft11 to a little above 6ft. But you can never be sure.
Can you sterilize a face mask in a baby sterilizer?
According to infectious disease expert Dr. Amesh Adalja, it is unclear whether sterilizing a cloth mask in a microwave works or whether it actually causes the mask to become more permeable to particles. N95 respirators shouldn't be microwaved, either—according to a 2009 study published in the Annals of Occupational Hygiene, they melt in the microwave.
The CDC recommends using a washing machine to clean a cloth mask, but the jury is still out on effective ways to sterilize N95 masks. Those are intended for use by healthcare workers and are designed to be used only once.
A March 2020 report from Stanford University's School of Medicine's COVID-19 Evidence Service suggested that heating N95 masks to 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit) in a kitchen-type of oven for 30 minutes is an effective sterilization method; however, they do not recommend heating masks in your home oven. Another possible solution is exposing masks to hydrogen peroxide vapor for more than two and a half hours, which California hospitals are set to start trying. You can read the CDC guidelines on N95 reuse here.
Can your hymen break if you fall and bang in between your legs?
The hymen can break through many activities other than sexual intercourse. Horseback riding has been known to cause the hymen to break, as well as other physically involved sports, etc.
Anything entering your vaginal opening can break your hymen. Everyone is different. Some people's hymen can break by inserting very little things, even a Q-tip. Some people's hymen dont even break until they have a vaginal birth. Some peoples hymen tear little by little in every sexual expierence until its complete. When it does break most people say you can feel it (i didnt) but the sure fire way to know is bleeding afterwards. I bled a lot. I had to wear a pad for 3 days. Other girls just have a bit of bleeding and others have none at all. Some say that for the few days after you have a burning sensation when you pee, but that didnt happen to me.
Why does a child squeeze his fists so tight that he shakes?
Because he is angry or he wants to demonstrate his power.Contrary to what people think some kids want to rule and dominate.It is rare among little ones.
When should you get your period after having a baby?
Some people resume their normal cycle 1-2 monts after birth, and some not for 6 months. If you are nursing it could be a year or more depending on how long you nurse. I nursed my last child for 13 months and nver had a period until 2 months after i stopped nursing. You can go to your doctor to get a hormone to get it going if you want. Hope this helps.
Choosing to have a baby at home or at a hospital is a very personal decision. Here are a few opinions on the safety of home birth:
- If everything goes perfectly right with the birth, home birth can be safe. The problem is, while complications are generally the exception and not the rule, they do happen. A hospital is very prepared to handle almost anything that might happen, including the need for a Cesareans section -- something you flat out can't do at home. For the sake of safety, I'd personally choose a hospital.
- Home births are very safe. Most doulas and midwives that I know and have worked with have never had a complication occur in the home setting. Of course they do not take on "high risk" cases.
- One benefit of home birth is that mom and baby have developed immunity to their own home environment, while hospitals have developed super germs. There is less risk of infection for mom and baby at home. While most birth is reasonably simple, unexpected complications do happen at home as well as in the hospital. Midwives work to minimize risk by prenatally educating home birth mothers about excellent nutrition. They also assist with simple ways of helping babies maintain proper position in preparation for birth, thereby minimizing risk. Most midwives accept only low risk clients, while others are not so careful. Most midwives are grateful for the assistance of medical professionals, and transport earlier than later when questions of safety arise. It is important to interview many midwives and choose someone well educated, who is conservative in her care and who has a good relationship with the medical community. Doulas are not typically educated or appropriately prepared to take on the responsibility of being the care provider, but in many ways are great support to the mother and family in labor and birth. While some parents might choose to give birth without a midwife in attendance, without adequate knowledge, skill, equipment, or ability to read a situation properly, outcomes are statistically less favorable. It is not possible to foresee fetal distress or hemorrhage, and a midwife works hard to be prepared to deal with each situation appropriately. A good midwife does prenatal care, is on hand and carefully watchful during labor and birth, and is present for a number of hours after birth. She does careful postnatal and newborn care in the months following birth. She also does appropriate labs and newborn tests, and files the birth certificate. Home birth is usually safe, especially when good medical backup is available as well.
- From personal experience I can tell you that it is much less uncomfortable to give birth at home. Less stress on the mother = less stress on the baby. As far as "high risk" goes, you might want to look up what factors make a woman "high risk"-they can include everything from drug use to poverty or something as simple as being under 5 feet tall.
take off all your cloths even you knickers/boxers and that how you get nakdd and sleep
Is one testicle by birth enough for good sex drive and fathering?
Yes. One testicle will still produce millions of sperm.
Is 6 stone ok for a 10 year old?
Sometimes you have lots of muscle which weighs more than fat! Also it depends on height! If you are fairly tall then yes it is healthy, between 5-6 lbs is healthy
What 3 personal behaviors have a direct effect on your health?
Internal health influences are mental caused by yourself. Some examples are your likes and dislikes, morals and values, and knowledge--that is, what you perceive as good or bad.
"By lots of legal supplements and protein shakes and have intense work-outs.
Eat well, get plenty of exercise and lots of sleep."
This is not strictly true as there are many people who get bigger without supplements. However they help by providing protein and more that you might not be consuming enough of. The best way to get bigger is by making sure you are getting the right amount of calories, protein and carbohydrates in your diet. In a way, you need to 'overfeed'. This means that you must consume more calories than you are burning off through exercise. It worked for me!
What does it mean when babies are shaking?
If your baby is shaking constantly, even when apparently warm enough, you should consult your doctor as soon as possibleto rule out any causative factors, such as positional discomfort, or allergies to materials, food, or medication.
Why am i having chest pain after having a baby?

What average weight for a 7 year old boy who is 4'2?
My son is 4'11" 96 pounds. His friends are 5'1" 130 pounds, 4'3"51 pounds and 4'8"63 pounds. Of all of them the 4'3 and my son have the most energy and regular growth cycles. That is the key. As long as your son is well-rested, has energy to play, and is alert and with a good appetite, he is fine. The 4'8" boy has parents going through divorce and has developed eating and social disorders. He has not needed bigger shoes or clothes in 2 years. the 5'1" boy has started playing sports with my son and is on a diet. He is very active in making youtube videos and acting but not in physically exterting play. Here is a general chart: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/growthcharts2/l/blboysbirth.htm
What impact has polio on people?
I have answered this question as the impact of the illness on the physical health of the person who has contracted it, based on information provided from the Health and wellness Resource Centre database. Other resources are available on the web at:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/
World Health Organization (WHO) 2 http://www.who.int/ (http://www.who.int/)
There are two forms of polio illness:
Minor poliomyelitis (also called abortive poliomyelitis), which occurs primarily in young children, is the most common of the two. The illness is mild, and the brain and spinal cord are not affected. Symptoms appear three to five days after exposure to the virus and include slight fever, headache, sore throat, vomiting, lack of appetite, and a general feeling of illness and discomfort.
Major poliomyelitis (also called paralytic and non paralytic polio) is a more severe illness that develops approximately 7 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms include fever, severe headache, stiff neck and back, and deep muscle pain. Some people experience temporary abnormalities of skin sensation. Muscle spasms and a tendency to retain urine are common. Muscle weakness and paralysis may develop rapidly or gradually during the time fevers are occurring, but paralysis does not continue to get worse afterwards. The disease most commonly affects the muscles of the legs, but the areas affected depend on what portion of the spinal cord is damaged and can include the arms, abdominal muscles, chest, neck and throat muscles. Respiratory failure occurs if the virus infects the nerves in the spinal cord that control the respiratory muscles of the chest or the parts of the brain involved in respiration.
Recovery from minor polio occurs in about three days. The fever and other symptoms of major polio can go away within days, but paralysis can be permanent. Some muscle function may return during the first six months after the acute illness, and improvement can continue for two years.
People with minor illness and nonparalytic forms of polio recover completely, and most people with major illness who were paralyzed also recover completely. Less than 25% of people with polioare disabled for life.
Even though you can recover completely from polio symptoms, poliodoes leave behind some damage. As you age, your nervous system may become less able to compensate for the damage that polio has caused, so symptoms may gradually reappear. If this occurs, it can happen 15 or 30 years after the polio infection was active. Recurring symptoms from polio are called post-poliosyndrome.

What is the average weight for a 12-year-old American boy?
There is no'average' body weight for a 12-year-old boy (or a boy or girl of any age). Weight is related to height and body composition, rather than age. For in-depth information about weight in relation to height, and to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions.
Should you eat if you're not hungry?
Not if you want to gain weight without really satisfyng your stomach; sometimes when you think that you feel hungry, the case is that you actually might be thirsty. Try drinking some water first, to see if that 'empty' feeling will go away.
a GP can presscribe a simple topical creme to relieve it or you may even be able to get smething from your chemist over the counter. it is no big deal. Just learn to treat it like your feet Keep it clean and dry.
What is the role of oxygen in metabolism?
Oxygen is an election acceptor in the reduction-oxidation reaction going on inside almost every living cell. Think of cellular metabolism in your body as a motor, in order to make things go there needs to be electron flow (in an electric motor there are positive and negative wires to conduct flow). At the molecular biology level the elections move between atoms, with the cell as the circuit. The 'force' driving the elections through the metabolic process from one 'reduced' atom (usually organic carbon from the food you eat) to one 'oxidized' atom ( an oxygen in O2) is oxygen's 'election affinity' (like magnetism for electrons), remember chemistry 101? The completed circuit usually produces carbon dioxide, wherein the carbon has lost electrons and oxygen has gained them.
How much should a 4'11 ten year old girl weigh?
,
Well my daughter is 12 years of age, and she is also 4'6" , but she has a high matabolism.
Since they are the same size, and my daughter is a bit under weight of her high matabolism, she now weigh's about 75 pounds. I really don't think there is a certain weight, you just have to be on task with eating, if she is over weight and if she is under weight, she should eat more foods with calories in it, i am trying it with my daughter, eating more calaries so she looks healthy.
Sorry if my advice isn't that great, hope it works!
If youre 17 youre 5 4 in height and you weigh 62 pounds are you overweight?
No not at all! You're perfectly normal for your height and age. I disagree - unless you are an athlete. 110-115 is ideal. Yes you are over the limit, so you need to decide how to handle it. It is harder to correct a problem later than right now. I'll vote for you to win this battle! It makes a difference if you are a boy or girl, if you have big bones or small. But you are in the average range of 100 to 136 for your age and weight. Go to a BMI calculator to learn more. Many medical experts use the Body Mass Index (BMI) to calculate the appropriate weight for a person. They recommend that the BMI not be over 30. To determine BMI, the formula is: weight divided by height2, then multiplied by 703. So in your case, you would divide 130 (weight) by 3844 (height squared), then multiply by 703, which gives you a BMI of 23.77. So according to these numbers, you are not overweight.
How does a 12-year-old lose leg fat?
Your body is one organism so you can't talk about losing fat in only one part of it. Exercise and diet are both necessary. Your legs are especially difficult because unless you are bed bound, you are using them every day, so the muscles should be in good shape. You can increase exercises that just work your legs like lunges and bicycles, but you will also need to cut back on fat-making foods like sugars and other carbs. If you do a lot of just leg exercises, you run the risk of building up thigh muscle which is even harder to lose than fat. Power walking and other common exercises that stretch and strengthen all or most muscles will help you lose body fat without building up muscles in just one part of your body. Women usually need to develop upper body strength so exercising arms, shoulders and the upper back will help you burn calories.
What is the average height and weight of an 11-year-old boy?
The average is 143cm. 90% of boys will be between 133cm and 155cm depending mainly on their genetics.
