Abstract: 
Childbirth is the most decisive event in a women’s life. It is the most wonderful and joyful journey which a women experiences after childbirth. Mothers go through a lot of physiological and psychological changes after giving birth. After pains plagued the majority of the postpartum ladies. As a result, it was determined that reducing the aftereffects and hastening the uterine involution process were critical. In India, after pains are still a big problem for moms after delivery. Nurses have an important role in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients. Nursing staff should educate mothers in order to improve their quality of life. The technique was found to be quite successful in preventing maternal discomfort and uterine involution.
