It could be twins also you could have a frontal placenta, which can make you appear much bigger than usual!
Go get checked out.

Like Jessica said, get a USG soon. Probably a bi too soon at this stage but there may be a small possibility that you are carrying twins! In which case, I think your new love's feelings WILL absolutely CHANGE! I mean, he will be over the moon!
Seriously, if he loves you (and your other two children) and he is ready for another child, then he will be an "expectant" father as much as you are an expectant mother :-) He'll probably put his ears on your tummy all the time just to hear and feel the signs of life in there :-)

My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and has a nice growing belly :) I love it. It's a pretty good sized bump on her otherwise small frame. But I wouldn't worry too much. If he doesn't like it and leaves you.. it would be due to more than just that you have a big belly, he'd have other issues with you having his baby.

Odds are it wont change his feelings, most guys are attracted to women pregnant with there kids, sometimes more so then when they are not . Its a parental deal, and odds are this excess size will most likely go away after birth, and so long as you don't let it effect you mood and constantly hurt yourself with negative thought and have respect for yourself and a good amount of self esteem he will remain attracted to you. Men are like women in this sense self esteem can mean so much more then even looks.
Don't worry about it, smile!

Some women gain differently after having been pregnant before. My sister-in-law was HUGE for her second baby.
If you are really worried about it, talk to your OBGYN at your next prenatal appt. or schedule an earlier one. They can have the ultrasound tech take a look to make sure everything is going smoothly.
