Ask your dentist: You should address all your questions to the dentist who diagnosed these "polyps" and suggested they be treated\removed? Not being able to see them ourselves, we can't give you accurate answers to your questions.

Pregnancy tumor: Most likely a very common entity, a pregnancy tumor--overgrowth of tissue we think from a respone to the changing hormone levels in your body. Just get it numbed and removed, with a little cleaning of the area while it's numb. Recent studies have shown it's safe to have this done while pregnant.
