Hello,Welcome to the HCM
Brief..It is parasitic infection (worm infestation)
Detailed answer...As it is more likely because of worm infestation,for that you may need one of two deworming medications..albendazole or praziquantel .Though it is safe in pregnancy,but studies shows that deworming during pregnancy can cause eczema in babies .My opinion would be discuss first with your gynaecologist before using these medicines for deworming.
