Intervention group of mothers received each intervention four times for four consecutive uterine contractions. Level of satisfaction was assessed 4 to 8 hours after delivery by using rating scale. The result showed severity of pain in group 1 was lower than other three groups at (p<0.004) and level of satisfaction was high in both group 1 and group 2 at (p<0.376) when compared with group 3 and group 4 at (p<0.000) correlation has not shown significant relationship between pain perception and level of satisfaction.
