I agree with Rhuben here, it is very case by case and depends upon a lot of individual factors.
One thing to consider is whether it is a good idea for you to take on the additional stress, financial and time considerations of a child, while you are feeling in any way unstable - Would it put you at greater risk to yourself?
I understand the desire to have a child, really I do. But I would encourage you to discuss this with your care team to see whether doing so would be putting you at a greater risk.
Only then, can you consider whether it would also put the child at risk. The questions here are how any neglect of the self may also lead to neglect of the child. Whether you are able to give the child the time and attention it requires. Whether you may be led to take actions that you may otherwise not in desperation that may put you, and/or the child at risk.
Ultimately, we can not answer these questions for you.
