Post delivery pain: It is difficult to say what is your problem from your short summary of symptoms. Most likely it is muscular related and local care with moist heat may help. However, if the pain is severe then you may require some xray or ct evaluation to look for a muscle related injury from your delivery or even the slim chance of a pulmonary embolism (this seems unlikely without any associated breathing issue.
