Adding TAP block with Bupivacaine may decrease the use of PCA bolus use after caesarean section for pain relief.
Participants in the study will be randomized to TAP block with 0.5% or 0.25% bupivacaine or with placebo (normal saline).
The number of PCA bolus used within 24 hours post cesarean section will be compared between the groups.

| Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block for Post Caesarean Pain | In Patient Controlled analgesia (PCA) system, the patient receives a preset dose of morphine by pressing a button on a computerized pump that is connected to an IV catheter. With PCA the patient may receive a small continuous flow of morphine and add more morphine as needed to provide a more constant level of comfort. In this study, we will compare the number of PCAs used by the participants in each arm | The first post operative 24 hours |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Decrease in the pain score as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a numeric scale to measure the pain intensity from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain, (1-3) = mild pain, (4-6) = moderate pain, and (7-10) = severe pain. The worst imaginable pain = 10 | The first post operative 24 hours |
