I'm another one that had a lot of pain for a long while... I can't remember exactly how long but at least the first few weeks or more I could hardly sit down and then I still had a dull pain 'down there' for some months after bubs was born. It's only been in the last month or so that I've finally started to feel a bit more 'normal' down there (not that it will ever be 'normal' down there again I guess).
