Thanks everyone who replied This forum is the best for answering questions so quickly.

To conclude from my first post- all is now well. I didn't have to have general anesthetic in the end as my cyst ruptured on its own as I was getting undressed to go into surgery. I was all "Hoorah!", thinking I'd be able to turn around and go home. My OB had other ideas. They ended up giving me mild sedation and a local, with a few stictches. No general, which is what we were aiming for. Bub is just fine.

Hopefully this will be my last 'drama' for the pregnancy lol.

If anyone else suffers from the same sort of cyst (Bartholin's), my advice is to get the minor surgery required to get rid of it once and for all if you're thinking about having a baby. It's full on if you have it while preggers.

Cheers,
Neuri.
