No: A rash indicates a reaction to an allergen, drug or infection such as a virus or bacteria. It also depends on the nature of the rash (red, bumpy, patchy, itchy, etc) and the location/spread. There is a pregnancy related rash called pupps (aka pep) but that usually happens later in the pregnancy. Go see your obgyn to determine the type of rash and seek appropriate tests, referral to dermatology.
