This study evaluates the post-operative analgesic effects of quadratus lomborum block 2 and 3 (QLB 2, 3) in patients having cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia will be performed to all patients for the surgery.
In this study, patients are divided into two groups. After the spinal anesthesia is performed and cesarean section surgery is over; QLB 2 block will be performed to patients in Group A ; while QLB 3 block will be performed to patients in Group B. In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively. Group A - Patients in group A will have QLB 2 block after the surgery. In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively. Group B - Patients in group B will have QLB 3 block after the surgery. In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery
Morphine consumption in the first 24 hours will be counted by IV patient controlled analgesia device (PCA). Patients will be able to request opioids via PCA device when the nrs score is above 4.
Time frame: 1 day
Post-operative acute pain
Pain status will be evaluated based on NRS scores. Pain status will be evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24. hours after surgery. Each NRS is scores 0-10. (0=no pain ; 10=pain as bad as can be)
Time frame: 1 day
