Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I have no experience but I'd like to think it would have been mentioned if it was likely to be a long term thing.

Can you ask midwife for an update or more information?

Congratulations on your baby.

Yes, you will.

Ask your midwife.

Birth can bruise your bits and they get swollen, blocking your urethra. Probably that bad it'll improve when swelling goes down.
