Unlikely: They may want to easily remove it. All the best. Enjoy your baby.

Usually not: Never say never, but benign cysts are common in that area and you should follow up with your dr. For a discussion and how the area should be followed. Best wishes.

Very unlikely: Cancer of the cervix results from abnormal paps that are ignored for a long time, with uterine lining ca you would have a significant amount of very heavy bleeding.. Ovarian cysts are common and can be rechecked in 3 months for resolution :).

Probably not: Its very common to miss periods while breast feeding. Cysts on the cervix (nabothian) are extremely common and totally benign. Cysts on the ovaries are also very common and mostly benign. Depending on the size (usually less than 3 cm) and appearance "simple" nothing may need to be done. Otherwise, a short term ultrasound followup to ensure resolution is appropriate.

Not likely: It is more likely to be a simple ovarian cyst or ruptured ovarian follicle.
