My daughter is 9 weeks pregnant she has an ovarian cyst is this dangerous to her or the baby?

I had on ovarian cyst when I was pregnant. At 12 weeks I had TERRIBLE pains and had to be hospitalized. The doctor then recommended that it be removed; there would be less risk if removed because it could have burst (my cyst got engorged with blood) and cause a hemorrhage. Fortunately, my pregnancy went well after the surgery. I delivered my baby naturaly as well, with no problems. Your daughter should maybe have her doctor monitor the cyst.

not at all I have them and I have three children only complication was my cervix would not open so I had to have a c-section
Reply:I would suggest that she go to a perinatologist just to be sure. I had a cystic tumor on my ovary that was discovered when I was 5 weeks pregnant. It was decided that, although there was a small, tiny risk that it would rupture and that would harm the baby, it would be more of a risk to remove it while pregnant. I was told that there is a 'window' during pregnancy where it is safest to do that type of procedure... I seem to remember that it was around 16 weeks. It turned out ok... I ended up having a c-section and they removed the tumor then. The drs did monitor me to make sure that it was not growing during the pregnancy.


good luck to your daughter!
