If you didn't have a fever with the rash, it is unlikely to be of harm to the baby.
Most likely it's due to hormonal skin changes during pregnancy. Continue using the calamine lotion, stay hydrated and consult your doctor if the rash recurs again.

Such rashes in early pregnancy are commonly due to hormonal changes, skin stretching, or mild allergy. Since the rash has subsided, it is not harmful to the baby.
Next Steps
Continue moisturiser/calamine. Avoid irritants.
