Not at all. Your baby is still very small right now. Most of what is poking out is fluid and flesh. Especially since you have a smaller build, you're going to show a bit more dramatically than someone of a larger build might. Your baby will begin to really pack the weight on in the last trimester - the longer s/he stays in, the more weight s/he will gain. But right now? Tiny tiny tiny.
If you're small and your partner is small, your child will probably be small. If your partner isn't small, it's a toss-up. My husband and I are both slender, and our daughter was less than 7 pounds at birth. She's one of the smallest 5 month olds out there! But at the end of my pregnancy, my tummy was huge!
