I had delayed soreness. I was actually so not sore for the first two weeks after delivery that I was afraid I had nerve damage (and I'm not trying to bragplain - I was legitimately concerned because I am not a pain champion by any means). Now, I had a HORRIBLE time with gas for those two weeks, and I was dealing with really painful engorgement for four or five days, so maybe those things were so bad that my tear didn't compare. Once H went back to work and I started having to do care on my own, that's when the soreness started. At 4.5 months pp I would say I am 98% back to normal, but I still have times where if I move funny or sit on the floor too long or am on my feet for too long, I'm like oh right, just pushed a baby out 4 months ago.
