Shingles while pregnant?!

Carly
So I noticed a small area of red bumps on my torso this morning after my shower - only because I was naked, not because it itches or was painful. It looks like a small circle of bumps, maybe little pimples? I'm definitely more aware of it now, and it itches a bit. No nerve pain, no tingling, and no fever, which are shingles symptoms. I have every intention of monitoring this super closely, and will be calling my OB or going into a RediMed tomorrow if necessary. I'm sure I'm jumping to conclusions here, but has anyone had shingles while pregnant? What were your symptoms? What was the treatment and were there any complications?  My daughter is 19 months, and vaccinated, but do I need to worry about her?
