strep question

So found out today that my 8 year old son has strep. Took him Saturday to the minute clinic at cvs for a rash. They tested him for strep which came back negative. They said they were going to send it to the lab just in case. Well tonight they call and said it came back positive. He got the rash Thursday. He has had no other symptoms, only the rash. Of course the pharmacy closed right as they were calling so I can't get his prescription till tomorrow morning. My question is should I call my ob and tell them? I definitely have been exposed. And has any other moms had children get strep, and could this be bad for me and baby? I'm 16+3 weeks. Thanks ladies!
