The wonder of motherhood is the enjoyable journey that is felt only by the mother after giving birth of rebirth by giving birth to a child. During post-natal period, mothers experience numerous physiological and psychological changes. Most of the post-natal women had afterpains. So it was found important to reduce the afterpains and hastened the process of involution of uterus. This study was conducted to assess Pre-Test and Post-Test Scores of Afterpains and Involution of Uterus Among Postnatal Mothers. Research design chosen for this study was Quasi experimental design, two group pretest and posttest design. The tool used for the study includes questionnaire to assess the level of afterpains pain by numerical pain scale. In control group-level of afterpains and involution of uterus will be assessed every day morning and evening for 3 days through numerical pain rating scale and clinical proforma and also routine care provided. The obtained data was analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics using chi-square and students independent t-test. The study results revealed that results include the total 53.3% of mothers in experimental group and 60.0% of mothers in control group are having slow excruciating pain in pre-test, and about 86.7% of mothers in experimental group and 93.3% of mothers in control group are having slow involution of uterus in pre-test. The association includes a statistical significance between pain reduction and mother’s age between 26-30 years, (?2=7.79p=0.05*), the mothers who attained menarche at the age between 12-15 years were also having a marked reduction in pain (?2=6.43 p=0.04*) statistical value is calculated by using Chi square test. The conclusion include that the intervention was found to be very effective in prevention of pains in mothers and fast involution of uterus.
