Once they have a child they feel they are ready to take on the mission . They have completed their work on earth. They have produced a child who will be cared for after they make the holy sacrifice
Their child will know their mother was doing Gods work when she died. What better way than sacrifice to try to make sure your child grows up in a holy world you help create by being a martyr

I guess like a soldier maybe killed in battle , his surviving children will remember him as a hero.

IMO post partum depression could be a factor but most likely they are caught up in the religious fervor and want a chance to do their part in fighting the most holy war
