Bilateral dermoids

I have just gotten out of the OR with a 26 yo G1 at 39 wks that had a
c-section for failure to progress. At the time of the c-section the
ovaries were both found to be enlarged to 8-9cm. Neither had previously
been noted on her early OB sono nor her anatomy scan at 22 weeks. By
the appearance of the fluid seen through the cyst wall my suspicion was
that this represented bilateral dermoid cysts.
What are the management options with this patient and which would you
choose and why?
(Then I'll tell you what I did-right or wrong)
