Tightness in Lower Abdomen

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my second and I have been having some tight pains in my lower abdomen today. I've heard Braxton Hicks and round ligament pain but it honestly feels like it did when I got cysts before my pregnancy! It literally feeels like the pain is
sitting directly on my left ovary. The pain is the same whether I'm walking or sitting down and its not unbearable but EXTREMELY uncomftorable. I don't remember having this type of pain with my first. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to continue to get cysts on your ovaries while your pregnant? I just had an ultrasound last week and there was nothing there but my beautiful baby girl, but I guess a cysts could have developed since then.

What can I do next?

My sil had cysts on her ovary during pregnancy. I would certainly request an ultrasound.
