No: No. This is nothing to worry about. Speak with your doctor after your pregnancy for specific treatment.

Warts and Pregnant: If you are pregnant and have warts, your doctor may recommend using cryotherapy or duct tape. Using salicylic acid has shown fetal defects in animals and no human studies are available.

Wart and pregnancy: First, a proper diagnosis needs to be made as some skin problems on the bottom of the foot can mimic a plantar wart. Simple treatment in the podiatrist's office can help with the pain of any skin lesion of the plantar (sole) surface of the foot while you are pregnant without necessarily needing any surgery or medication. Definitive treatment can be done safely after you deliver.
