What's happening?!

I am experiencing a strange thing, which has never happened to me before. It started on my thumbs (on the tips just where the nail ends). I was doing the dishes early this week (Monday) and one or two hours after I noticed an 1 cm x 0,5 cm blister like thing (looked just like when you burn it with a hot baking tin) on my both thumbs. But it was empty, wasn't filled with fluid, just got loose. These dried out and now peel. It doesn't really hurt or anything just looks not nice. Very uncomfortable and worsens when I get them wet, more come apart. I have been clipping the loose skin with a nail trimmer. After a shower the skin is really loose. Yesterday I noticed on my two index fingers too. I have never had peeling fingers before. I use the same washing up liquid for the past 5 or 6 years (Ecover), and it is eco friendly so less chemicals in it.

Is this pregnancy related?? Is it a bacterial infection or a fungal infection?? Or lack of vitamins (E or A or C)?? Or an underlying disorder?? Can it harm my developing baby? I called my GP she said to put moisturizer on it. That's it??
