Myra,
If you are already pregnant, the baby can't decide to switch fathers in your womb. If you were confirmed two-month's pregnant with the child of your intended parents, and had not had sex with your husband prior to that, then they are the parents.
Most clinics establish firm rules on when the surrogate mother can resume relations with her spouse, partly to avoid this type of confusion, and the possibility that she will inadvertently conceive her own child. Yes, some "surrogate" mothers end up giving birth to their own children, solely because they ignore clinic regulations.
Most surrogacy arrangements require a DNA test upon birth to confirm the parentage of the baby.
If you were not confirmed pregnant before having sex with your husband, then it is possible you are pregnant with his child. The fetal age of the baby on an ultrasound should help you to determine this. If, when receiving your next ultrasound, the baby is 2 month's smaller than he should be, chances are your surrogacy did not succeed.
Best wishes.

Remember... by: Rayven from Information on Surrogacy
If the rules were broken and you are pregnant with your husband's child, all compensation including your medical bills will most likely need to be repaid to your intended parents upon the DNA test, according to your contract.
If you are very suspicious, I would suggest placing all compensation into a savings account until it can be determined who the baby belongs to. I would also come clean at this point to your intended parents.
