Laser works for Pyogenic Granuloma
Various vascular lasers can successfully treat Pyogenic granuloma's
On the lip.I have treated , in my estimation, over 100 such cases with good results.
If however the lesion is very large, a surgical option might be considered. Good luck.

Pyogenic granuloma
Unfortunately this is a common condition in pregnant women. First speak with a qualifed plastic surgeon and get an idea about options. I have used steroid injections very effectively in these cases. This is always done after a careful discussion with the OBGYN and patient in all cases. Direct surgical excision is also possible but often unnecessary. Congrats on the pregnancy, Best Regards, Dr. Todd Hobgood
