Hi Anya,
You're not the first to post this complaint!
I think there's probably a mixture of stuff going on there;
Firstly, yes, the whole area is completely sensitive, so putting any pressure on the bladder will increase intensity of stress to the bum, so that's probably a bit of a side effect but it won't last. Then there's the mental thing as well going on with you worrying about pushing to do anything (even pee)because of any damage it might inflict. Hard to do possibly right now, but sit on that loo, take a few deep breaths and just focus on something around you to take your mind off expelling anything (really helps me when I feel stressed over a BM) If you've any doubts, just call your CRS for some reassurance....Keep downing the fluids and sure you'll be peeing for the whole of the US soon!!! :)
