Unexpected pregnancy at 40 and don’t know what to do

I just found out I am pregnant and if I choose to have it I will be 41 when the baby is born and it will be my 3rd. I have a 16 and 14year old and I thought I was done. I’m only just 5 weeks. My eldest has complex medical issues and needs a lot of help and appointments. It’s genetic so I would get CVS testing at 11 weeks to check if this baby has the same genetic syndrome. I am considering medical termination but you have to do that before 9 weeks. But something is telling me to have this baby. Is it my hormones making me feel crazy? I really thought I was done with the baby stage can I start again? I’m so confused. I haven’t told anyone not even my husband yet I know he will not want another baby. I feel like it is completely irresponsible to have another baby after all we go through with our eldest. But at the same time I think it could be such a blessing to have another healthy baby.
