Study Summary

The primary objective is to reduce or eliminate the use of all narcotics/opiates for post Cesarean section pain management. The investigators hypothesize that in comparison with epidural or intrathecal Duramorph, a TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) will provide better, longer-acting pain control and will significantly reduce the use of post-operative IV or p.o. opiates. This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial.

Primary Outcome

To evaluate pain, participant will be shown a card that has a visual analogue (Faces) pains scale combined with numerical (0-10) analogue scale (0 is no pain, 10 is the worst pain imaginable).
