Hello ma'am and welcome.
No, labor is unlikely. The hCG hormone helps support pregnancy and it could indicate slight trouble, but will have to be closely monitored to find the cause for low levels and if a further drop is seen, correction might be required. Please report to ypur doctor for regular follow ups.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
