Timeframe: From 1 to 72 hours post surgery

Pain scores post-cesarian section will be obtained using clinical data gathered by the care team providing routine clinical care, and asking routine pain score questions. The scale used is the standard 1-10 pain scale, with 1 being no pain or very mild discomfort, and 10 being very severe pain. Thus, higher values indicate a worse outcome. For each subject, pain scores obtained during the 72 hours post-surgery will be averaged to obtain an overall average pain score.
