Can I sue my husband for accidentally getting the other woman pregnant?

Dear Harold,
My husband allegedly accidentally impregnated a family friend whom we mutually agreed would add life to our relationship. What I do not understand is whether I am the one who is being played as the woman has insisted on carrying the baby to full term arguing that her medical condition is complicated – an attempted abortion may lead to death. I am terribly scared of what may happen after she gives birth and my husband is forced to pay maintenance for her and the baby. I am even contemplating filing a divorce on grounds of adultery. I have asked myself several questions and even wonder what got into me to allow another woman into our bedroom. Is it also possible for us to sue the woman for allowing herself to get pregnant, which was not a part of our agreement?
Natasha, Nairobi.
