Hi dear, while it’s true that elective surgery has risks, it is still safer than emergency surgery if the cyst does twist and burst. People have also done surgeries like removal of the appendix during pregnancy. In fact, the 2nd trimester is the safest for surgery as the pregnancy is usually stable and baby’s not too big yet. If you trust that your surgeon can do a good job, then go for it:) For peace of mind, ask all the questions you need to.. whether to the surgeon, or nurses, or anaesthetist (who will put you to sleep). All the best, dear ❤️

thank you so much!🥺❤️ I was only worried if it would affect my baby. as i lost my 1st child 3 years back then & wouldn't wish to go through it again.😔 this pregnancy is too precious for me. i'm having hard times thinking if i should do the surgery or not. as they are removing both of it. and i really don't want anything to happen to my baby.😔
