Lymes disease and tinea corporis both present with ring shaped lesions. You need to consult a dermatologist immediately as Lyme disease can cause systemic manifestations and thus can complicate pregnancy. And if it's a fungal infection early initiation of treatment can prevent spread to other sites.
