Not likely: It is unlikely to cause problems for your pregnancy, but your dentist will not be wanting to do anything about it until you are delivered.

Treat it now: Failure to treat can result in an infection and that can be problematic for both of you. Since there is no sign of infection now, it is very easy to treat.
