A member asked:
Can a baby be mistaken for an ovarian cyst?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes and no.: Some ovarian cysts can and do mimic a pregnancy by stopping periods and even causing an enlargement in the lower abdomen. However, this is not a baby, not a real pregnancy. Hope this answers your question.

Wrong location: Babies develop in the uterus, a midline structure, while ovarian cysts develop in an ovary, paired structures on opposite sides of the pelvis near the hips.
