Depends: Not likely. But it depends on stage of labor and other factors. See an oral surgeon. Oral surgeon are used to dealing with patients with medical problems and pregnant patients.

Labor pains: An extraction would not typically cause labor. If you think you are in labor call your doctor now.

Good question: Discuss this issue with both your own dentist and Obstetrician. Together they can better answer your question based upon the urgency of the extraction and your medical history and specific circumstances.
