A huge ovarian cyst during pregnancy

This cyst was removed right before getting the baby out after a cesarean section. So generally speaking, cysts might be discovered on an ultrasound, but do they pose any risks? That depend only on the size and the types of the ovarian cyst.The major risk is of the pressure exerted by a large cyst on the womb. It can be prevented by carefully monitoring a woman, or by recognizing any signs of major problems early enough. Most of the ovarian cysts are harmless (benign) and usually reduce on their own, but large cysts can cause problems and abdominal discomfort for a woman.Photo by @hatim_timtam

Can't there be a risk of a cyst rupturing?

Other than that, can the cyst exert pressure on the fetus and cause complications?
