They say it is safe to have surgery during pregnancy as long as it is during the second trimester or later and some women have had cysts removed during pregnancy.  Others have been able to delay removal until after delivery but had to deliver via c-section.  The doctor must think it is something that cannot wait to be recommending removal now.  Whether the ovary needs removal depends on how much damage has been done by the cyst.  I do hope you have a good outcome for both you and the baby.  These have been performed successfully in the past.  Sometimes keeping the cyst through pregnancy poses an even higher risk than removal does.  This is something a doctor must determine for the maximum safety of all.  I hope you have a very good doctor!
