I am sorry you are agonizing over this precious little girl. She sounds like she definitely needs help. Being pregnant and covered with fleas is not a good situation, and one which will get worse when the pups are born.
What about Capstar to get rid of the fleas? CAPSTAR tablets are supposed to be safe for pregnant and/or nursing dogs and cats, so that is an immediate option to rid her of fleas. Capstar has no residual effects, is not a preventative, and only kills adult fleas, however, so a 'safe' flea preventative would be needed as well if you rescue her. There is a holistic preventative that works longer...if you are interested I can PM you the information.
Bathing her in Dawn might help quickly rid her of fleas, as well, but she would then need to be kept away from her previous abode where there will be plenty of fleas.
Good luck with whatever you decide. {{{Hugs}}}
