In experimental group the selected nursing measures helped in reducing the level of after birth pain and 86.6% of primipara mother had only mild pain where as in control group 46.6% of Primipara mothers had moderate pain and 53.3% had severe pain. The findings of the study supported that, with selected nursing measures (Fundal massage, alternative leg lifting exercise), there was reduction in the level of After Birth Pain.
