Summary
This study is testing whether adding a small amount of morphine to the standard spinal anesthesia can improve pain control after a planned C-section, without causing serious side effects for mothers or babies. About 1,300 women will be randomly assigned to receive either morphine or a placebo (salt water) in their spinal injection. All participants will also get standard painkillers after surgery. Researchers will track pain levels, side effects, and any serious complications.
