Make sure your homeowners policy is up to date and I will send you a match.
Seriously though I have heard that the bites are almost like an allergic reaction and some people are more sensitive than others. I would definitely be examining your mattress, luggage, etc. closely.

Oh no! H had them from a work trip to FL and he kept his suitcase outside for a few days and washed his stuff in super hot water. I really hope they're not in the house.
Papular dermatitis of pregnancy starts out looking like bug bites, can start anywhere on the body, and can happen at any time during the pregnancy. I have seen many people think they have bed bugs or mosquitoes attacking them in their sleep and it be this.... Just a thought.

When friends of ours found out they had bed bugs (he brought them home from a hospital stay), they took their mattress and box spring, dragged them through the apartment, and threw them both off their 2nd story balcony into the parking area below.
It did not do the trick. They had to hire an exterminator. In your case, I hope it's not bed bugs. What a PITA.
H's office had bedbugs and the company paid for a visit from the beagle for anyone who wanted it. We watched Max do his job and then got to play with him afterwards.

Was your husband at the hotel with you? Since he doesn't have bites, maybe you got them someplace outside a bed environment ... a work meeting or dinner someplace with upholstered furniture, for example. Whatever they are and whereever you got them, I hope they're not inside your home!
ETA: I don't advise doing this, but I google-imaged "papular dermatitis of pregnancy" from the previous poster, and "bed bug bites" and they sure do look similar. So contrary to my usual position, I am wishing for something ending in "itis" for you.

Hmm. Good theory. I just went to San Francisco for work last week. He did not go.
This gives me hope that the San Francisco hotel was the source.
Could be pupps (pregnancy rash) or if its bed bugs, you can look for them.
Shine your cell phone light along your mattress, suitcase and any dark, fabric place by your bed. In the daylight, they look like little black specs. (Kinda like black pepper)
You can pm pic for my H over if you need. Lol (he works in the hotel safety business and sees them all the time)
