The baby can survive- she will probably be monitored very closely and be labeled as "high risk." She MUST have proper OB care and see her doctor regularly- she will probably have to come in more often than a woman with a low-risk pregnancy. The baby will not kill her.

It would depend upon several factors. She would have to visit an OB/GYN which I am assuming she has done already to be diagnosed with having a cyst. Secondly, if the cyst is on her ovary then most likely it would not effect the pregnancy. The egg does not remain in the ovary. It is released and fertalized from there it imbeds itself into the wall of the uterus. At that point the ovary doesn't have much to do with viability of the pregnancy. However if the cyst is located somewhere other than on the ovary it could result in a tubal pregnancy or other reasons which would cause the pregnancy to no longer be viable. If the cyst is on her uterus then it may cause problems.
The best thing to do would be to have her go back to her OB/GYN and take your son with her or possibly her mother if she does not feel comfortable with your son going with her. If you and your son's girlfriend are close you might try offering to go with her as well. IF the OB/GYN does suggest that the pregnancy is not viable then I would suggest getting a second opinion. From there if the pregnancy is not viable make your decisions based upon that. However please keep in mind that while you (or I or anyone else) may not agree if she does not want to continue with the pregnancy she does have the right to terminate it. However, you nor your son are obligated to pay for an abortion if she desires one. IF it is medically necessary then most likely her insurance or medicaid will pay for it. If she just wants an elective abortion then they will not and it will be an out of pocket expense that she would be responsible for.

I found out I was pregnant at three weeks. I had a sist on my ovary...I'm now 30 weeks pregnant. My OB labeled me as high risk and watched me over the next months. He told me that pregnancy will naturally take care of sists. The only thing is when that happens...the sist ruptures. I bled a lot when my sist ruptured. I was 8 weeks pregnant when that happened. I went to the ER and they told me that it was just the body getting rid of the sist. She will not die. At least, I didn't.

An ovarian cyst will not hurt the baby or kill the mother. Now cysts in the uterus can be dangerous especially if the egg implanted itself on the cyst,if it did it normally leads to miscarriage. Because the cyst will eventually burst and the fetus is no longer attached to the uterine wall. The placenta will detach and she'll miscarry. She needs to find a good OB/GYN now to have an ultrasound and exam if she wants to know for sure and help prevent a miscarriage. She does not need to abort the baby.

How big is the cyst? Carrying the baby through to term will NOT kill her. 99 % of all cysts are not cancerous and almost all of them go away on their own. A woman gets a cyst every month when her ovary releases an egg. This is normal. Her cyst probably just hasn't subsided yet because of the hormones from her pregnancy. Tell her to relax and not rush into an abortion. She will regret it after when the cyst goes away by itself and she has no baby to hold. I'll pray for her (and you). It will be all right.

I would encourage her to get more medical care but it sounds as though she really does not want to be pregnant if she has convinced herself that the pregnancy will kill her. The human mind is actually quite powerful in controlling certain things in our body. If she has convinced herself that she cannot carry the pregnancy, I would not try to force her - she could end up harming herself or thinking herself into a bad medical problem. Psycho semantic problems are not to be taken lightly.
This is her body and it's obvious that she does not want to put her body through this. I would back off and encourage her to seek professional medical care and advice. If she still goes through an abortion, there's nothing more you can do and you have done the best you can by her.
Peace,

This is only something that can be answered by her doctor, as each person is a different case, with different conditions.
Is it possible that she is telling you this so you will butt out and not harass her about her decision to get an abortion???
Suggest that she get a second doctor's opinion, and then stay out of it. It's not your decision to make.
Sorry, I know it's a sensitive subject, but it's just not your business.

better to be answered by a doctor, but i have a friend that has a 6 month old little boy. when she got pregnant he was full of endrometreious(sp) and had cysts on her ovaries and was fine. now a tubal pregnancy can kill her and/or the baby if it goes untreated but that's totally different.

in certain cases, the cyst may cause harm to the mother or the baby, however, i would go to the doctor with her if she will let you and speak to him/her and ask if an abortion is necessary for her health and the possible saving of her life... don't just take her word for it, she may just be scared...
