Hello ma'am and welcome.
I read about a study sometime back, in which the effect of PUVA was tested on pregnant women with psoriasis. I distinctly remember that there were no significant outcomes or effects of PUVA therapy on pregnancy, delivery or the health of the baby. So you need not worry about this. I wish you a safe and comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
Best wishes.
