Usually not: A cyst that size is not uncommon. They will usually shrink as the pregnancy goes along. Sometimes they can grow very large or twist and cause pain and could need surgery, however this is unusual. If you need surgery, do not be afraid. We usually try do operate on pregnant women after 12 weeks if needed. It won't hurt the baby, so don't be worried. This will probably go away and be fine.

Yes: You should have close f/u on the ovarian cyst. Once pregnancy goes beyond 10wks the ovary stops being the hormone source for pregnancy and the cyst tend to resolve. However, large ovarian cyst greater than 5cm have a possibility of torsing and this could be an emergency.
