I'm pretty sure it was around 12 weeks that I started feeling cramps associated with a stretching uterus. They weren't intense pains, but similar to strong period type cramps. Hopefully that's all it is for you.
Oh, and I sympathise about telling little ones to stop jumping on your belly. My 2 1/2 year old DS seems to always get a well timed kick to the belly during nappy changes, and likes to climb and lay across my lap if I sit on the couch. Rest assured that there's lots of padding in there for the little bub
It could also be early onset braxton hicks too, with DS they started at 15wks, with DD at 7wks, all because of my irritable uterus. I'm just waiting for them to start this time around too.
=) good to hear all is ok, Its normal to get some cramping at this stage, your uterus is reaching the point where it is big enough to poke up out of your pelvis, and with all the stretching and growing some people get cramps.
