I would say given your young age, give yourself more time to consolidate recovery. It will be less stressful to you if you have several years of recovery behind you and more life experience in the world of functioning as a well person than if you have a couple of years or so.
Perhaps you could think about other social supports around having a child so that the child itself has plenty of caregivers, family friends and groups.
I'm not sure if you would be referred to social services should you become pregnant at this stage, but due to your history the person looking after you would have to assess the likelihood of you needing extra help to care for your baby and being a lone parent would count as a risk factor.
