The obtained data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using chi-square and students independent t test. The study revealed that Kegel exercise and prone position after child birth have significant reduction of afterpains. As the result shows that t test value = 15.12 significant at p= 0.00 level and improvement of involution of uterus as t value= 9.54 significant at p=0.001 level.
