From an Islamic perspective, Teisha, the decision to become a mother is a significant one that should be made after careful contemplation and consultation with Allah (SWT) and one's spouse.

Islam encourages marriage and starting a family, as it is a means to fulfill one's purpose in life and seek Allah's (SWT) blessings.

However, it also emphasizes responsible parenthood and taking into account one’s physical, emotional, and financial well-being.

In the Quran, Allah (SWT) states, "And Allah has enjoined justice and charity, and giving to relatives. And He has forbidden indecency, evil, and transgression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will take heed." (16:91)

This verse highlights the importance of justice, charity, and taking care of one’s relatives, which includes one's potential children.

In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Marry the one who is best for you, and he will be best for your children after you." (Bukhari)

This hadith emphasizes the importance of choosing a spouse who will be an excellent parent and provide the best possible upbringing for their children.

Your concerns about your own health and safety of your potential children are valid. Islam places a strong emphasis on protecting and caring for one's children.

Allah (SWT) says, "And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [Allah] said, 'After that, if he reaches the age of [service to] worship, let him worship Me.'" (31:14) This verse highlights the importance of caring for one’s parents, who played an integral role during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, weaning, nurturing, teaching values, etc., which should continue even after they become adults.

In Islam, mental health is also important, especially when it comes down managing postpartum depression.

Allah (SWT) says, "O you who have believed, seek help through patience [and] prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient." (4:136)

This verse encourages seeking help through patience, prayer, and self-care to manage mental health issues like postpartum depression.

In the end, while your concerns are valid, Islam provides guidance and support for those who are considering starting a family.

It is essential to prioritize the well-being and safety of one's potential children while also taking into account one's own health and financial situation.

By seeking guidance and support, one can make an informed decision that is in line with Islamic values and principles.
