In three groups pain will be determined before intervention . Then in intervention group transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electrode will be insert and will be used for 30 minutes. After that pain will be assessed every 6 hours for 24 hours after cesarean and TENS device will be on for 30 minutes.
