Intervention  Group BF: Received 10 mg (2ml) 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 20 microgram fentanyl  This is a Prospective study of six months duration During the study period Patients posted for elective LSCS under ASA I &II will be randomly taken as Group BF and Group RF. Group BF women posted for elective LSCS will receive 2ml of intrathecal 0.5% Bupivacaine with 20 mic fentanyl  
Intervention  Group RF: Received 15 mg (2ml) 0.75% hyperbaric Ropivacaine with 20 microgram fentanyl  This is a Prospective study of six months duration During the study period, Patients posted for elective LSCS under ASA I &II will be randomly taken as Group BF and Group RF. Group RF women posted for elective LSCS will receive intrathecally 2ml of hyperbaric 0.75% Ropivacaine and 20 mic fentanyl

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the onset of analgesia between the two different study groups concerning the nature of sensory block, motor block, and duration of analgesia.  After the Administration of intrathecal local anaesthetics and opioids postoperatively, the patient is observed every 15mins 30 minutes 1 hr then every 1hr up to 24hrs 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To find out the effectiveness and hemodynamics of the drugs.
To find out the Pain score at 30 min,4hr, 8hr, 12hr post-op. 
To find out the hemodynamics changes at 1,3,5,10,15,30,45,60 minutes after spinal anaesthesia

To find out the Pain score at 30 min,4hr, 8hr, 12hr post-op.

Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is the standard Anesthetic choice for lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), except in a few cases where it is contraindicated. This study is to compare the effects of the combination of either Ropivacaine, or Bupivacaine with fentanyl (one of the most used adjuvants in intrathecal administration). they have additive effects when applied together in the subarachnoid space, with greater analgesic quality and duration, safety, and also longer-lasting post-surgical analgesia, which is clinically significant. The rationale behind this study is to observe and assess the effect of 0.5%hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl and 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine with fentanyl when administered through intrathecal route for elective caesarean deliveries
