I am 16 weeks pg, from the beginning i have had cramps and pressure in my lower tummy. I can feel my tummy get hard and it stays that way for bout 10-20 mins and constant cramps maybe a level 3 but constant and uncomfortable. My dr didn't seemed concerned, just took a urine sample that came back clean. I cant relax at work because im stressed here and at home i have 2 boys 7 and 4 who constantly need me. What do you suggest to stay relaxed?

You are probably experiencing Braxton-Hicks contractions. As long as they aren't getting stronger or more like labor pains, you should be ok. Drink lots of water and as for your kids, try not to pick them up if you can help it and don't over exert yourself.

GL and congrats on the PG!
