I'm 68 weeks into a healthy pregnancy but have been dealing with slightly low blood pressure and morning sickness. Yesterday, my gynecologist prescribed me some medicine, and today I looked it up on Google. I read on Practo that this medicine is not recommended for pregnant women or those trying to get pregnant. I'm really worried and unsure about whether I should take it or not. Can you help me with this?

I have a 37x15x14 mm oval-shaped T1T2 hypointense submucosal fibroid with polypoidal extension into the endocervical canal. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any homeopathy treatments that could work instead since I want to have another baby and already have a 2-year-old. Should I go ahead with the surgery or try other options first?
surgery is option only.
