Lightning Crotch in labour?

This might be a stupid question, but can anyone who has given birth before tell me, do you get lightning crotch pains during labour as well as contractions? I'm finding lightning crotch to be really intense at the moment, it takes my breath away and makes me tense up, I'm not sure how I'll be able to stay relaxed with that constant sharp stabbing pain. Can anyone shed any light?

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?
