Red Bumps

When I first found out I was Pregnant, I noticed a small red bump right under my belly button. A week later, there were three more. They started to clear up this week and just today (I am only 6 weeks pregnant too) I noticed a larger one above my belly. They are a bit itchy (especially to the touch) and appear like mosquito bites but I know their not. They are round (except for one which looks like a birthmark) and they are bright red. I thought before it was Pupp Rash, but it doesn't look like the pictures I've seen. I just have small spots. A little worried because I didn't have anything like this pregnant with my Son (five years ago)  
Anybody experience this or have any info? Tempted to call my doctor but don't want to look like a paranoid idiot!
Thanks!

I looked up Shingles, and my spots look nothing like that. Those look oily and full of puss. Mine are just red dots, barely a bump, more flattened. And it doesn't even look like Pupp, because the pictures i've seen are a rash spread throughout the whole body, when I have only 4 to 5 bumps. I am just concerned because I keep getting more as the days go on. And they are all in different spots. This is very new to me. I guess a call to my doctor couldn't hurt! My appointment isnt until Mid September so I better call.
Thanks everyone!

It could also be eczema. A visit to the doctor won't hurt.

Look up pictures of shingles to see If that could be it. Shingles has been sparking up everywhere.

You won't look like an idiot! Its probably nothing, but to be safe I'd just go in and get it checked just in case. If you have an appointment coming up soon maybe just wait, but as long as you aren't bleeding and cramping you are probably fine!:) maybe, not to scare you, it could be a form of the shingles/pox virus. I know my friend got shingles once she was pregnant. Don't itch, and wash your hands frequently and put a cocoa buyer creme it lotion on to soothe it in the meantime! Hope this helps. :)
