Brief Summary   Ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum block and Transversus Abdominis Plane block are well established modes of administering postoperative analgesia in various abdominal surgeries. However, there are very few studies comparing the efficacy of these two blocks in Lower Segment Cesarean Section surgeries. In this study, the efficacy of these two blocks will be measured in terms of the duration of postoperative analgesia, that is, the time at which first rescue analgesic would be required, in patients undergoing Lower Segment Cesarean Section under spinal anaesthesia. The blocks will be performed at the end of the surgery with 20 ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine on each side (maximum dose not exceeding 2 mg/kg) . The outcome measures will be evaluated using appropriate statistical tools.
