Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Intensity of afterpains. Timepoint: Two hours after delivery, gelatin capsules of sesame oil or placebo are given to the mother every 6 hours, and the severity of back pain is measured one hour after each dose. Method of measurement: To measure the intensity of pain, the painometer-visual analogue scale index, which is one of the parts of the painometer tool, will be used. It will be drawn 100 mm linearly and the left side of the number zero means painless and the right side of the number 10 means maximum pain. The mother is asked to mark the intensity of her lower abdominal pain on the line at that moment.
