Pregnant with 2nd in oxygen therapy - help

I’m in a strange situation and would appreciate advice. I’m currently undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy for a wound on my face - it’s been very traumatic. I began the therapy a week ago today and yesterday realised I was late. I’ve done a pregnancy test and it’s positive.
I have a 3 year old and feel completely overwhelmed as to what to do.
I need to continue my therapy to heal my wound - all of this stress is clouding how I feel about being pregnant. I’m now not sure if I should terminate.
Im happy with my family as a three but we had been umming and ahhing about a having another. We have no family help and both have full on jobs so im worried we could regret adding another to our family - but as I said my head is not in a clear space right now with the treatment I’m going through. I’m also worried the treatment could result in harming the baby - I realise not many people will have experienced this but I just want to sound off and feel less alone and overwhelmed

i would really access some counselling- if you are in the uk there are a few charities that provide t. this will help you explore your feelings. its such an isolating experience making that decision
