This is extremely common and, at this early gestational age, is almost never a problem. Lots of things can cause the uterus to be a little larger than expected: having many babies, uterine anomalies (like bicornuate uterus), fibroids, a full bladder, a full colon, a wrong due date, or even "just because." In fact, it's actually normal to be a couple of weeks plus or minus from the expected size. And, it's difficult to tell with certainty the size of the uterus at this early age, so we get as close as we can. I doubt very much that this will be a problem. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
