Hi
There is no need to panic.
You have a small epithelial cyst beside the ovary. This cyst has no adverse effect on fetal growth.
A cyst of such small size is unlikely to cause any problems during pregnancy.
Very Occasionsally they may increase in size and cause pain. So it is a good practice for your doctor to monitor its size once in three months.
Repeat ultrasound 2 months after the delivery. If it is still of the same size needs follow up ultrasounds once in 6 months.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
