Brief Answer:
Seems to be urticaria, nothing related to your baby

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
You seem to be having urticaria which is an allergic reaction.
It won't harm your child but definitely consult your gynaecologist about the antihistaminics you can take in pregnancy.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
