How long after giving birth were you sore?

Amanda
I felt fine for the last few days, then yesterday I had (tmi alert) some rectal/lower abdominal cramping as if I was constipated. I took a stool softener and was able to go. It has gotten better, but still hurts in the mornings or when I pass gas or poop. Today I feel like I have been hit by a truck... My whole abdomen through my shoulders hurt. It hurts if I breathe in too deeply... It feels like muscle aches everywhere. Normal? I had my baby on 12/31
