Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Pregnant women with a history of opioid use disorder, chronic opioid use or those who are on medication assisted treatment will be randomly assigned to receive either a sub-fascial continuous infusion of bupivacaine or lidocaine/menthol patch after Cesarean delivery. Post-operative pain scores and opioid usage in the post-operative period will be recorded.

Detailed description: Pregnant women 18 years or older with a history of chronic opioid use, opioid use disorder or women on medication assisted treatment (MAT), will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of two study groups. The first group will receive a Lidocaine/Menthol patch at the time of her Cesarean delivery, the second will receive placement of the Ambu ACTion infusion pain system at the time of the C-section. This device will be set up to infuse 0.125% of bupivacaine for 48-60hrs postoperatively at a rate of 8cc/hr.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Pregnancy
* undergoing a Cesarean delivery via a transverse incision at York Hospital labor and delivery
* Documented history of chronic opioid use or documented OUD, or currently utilizing medically assisted treatment (MAT)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a history of clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, or renal disease
* Non-English speaking
* Allergy to bupivacaine, lidocaine, zinc, silver or menthol
* Unable to consent, due to lack of decisional capacity or need for emergent Cesarean delivery
* History of glucose-6-phosphate deficiency
* Use of anti-arrhythmic drugs such as tocainide or mexiletine
