Pain
-
Pain can vary when it comes to ruptured cysts. The pain is most often located in the lower abdomen where the ovaries are located, but referred pain is also possible and may be felt in the thighs or back.
Bleeding
-
Some minor bleeding may occur when a cyst ruptures. It may be misconstrued as spotting, but any bleeding while pregnant needs to be addressed by a doctor.
-
Nausea

Nausea is a common symptom of pregnancy and may also be a symptom or ruptured cysts while pregnant, although nausea is not one of the most prevalent symptoms of a ruptured cyst.
Blood Pressure
-
Blood pressure changes may occur during a routine pregnancy. However, if the blood pressure change is drastic and unexplained by pregnancy, then it may be due to a ruptured cyst.
