Anyone else had teeth out in the third trimester?

I’m due to get a tooth out on Friday that I’ve been waiting to have done for the last few months and have finally got an appointment for Friday. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and everything I’ve read online says you shouldn’t have teeth out in the third trimester and that they might not do it because of how far along I am. So was just wondering if anyone else has had a tooth removed in the third trimester?

I had an upper molar removed at about 37 weeks. It had an abscess and did need treatment. They'll always try and avoid extraction during pregnancy as your body has enough going on but the risks will be weighed with the benefits. I'm on denplan, have regular dentist appts and have a good rapport with her too so I think that helped with the decision.
Hope you get it sorted one way or another :)

Thank you for the replies I’m always worrying about something and am already nervous about going in with the Covid situation but I’ve had a filling missing on one side for the last 3 months and now a tooth on the other side has cracked so finding it hard to eat much so think that’s why they are wanting to get it out

Thank you for the replies I ended up getting some temporary fillings put in so didn’t need any anaesthetic and then will either have crowns or have it removed after he’s born. So didn’t need to worry in the end.
