Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
What the variable refers to is described here: https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/bleeding-during-preg nancy. It is discussed in Chapter 9 of the final report. I see that the Kenya 2022 report does not include the questionnaire in an appendix. However, other DHS-8 final reports do include the questionnaire. You can search for "bleeding" in the Nepal 2022 women's questionnaire (English version), for example. The questions would have been the same in the Kenya 2022 survey.
The PSUs, or sample clusters, do not affect the weights. They do not affect tabulations or estimates of means, rates, proportions, etc. They can be included in an adjustment that affects the standard errors of the estimates. In Stata those adjustments are made with "svyset" and "svy". I don't know how the adjustment is made in R but you could probably get some help from our GitHub site: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-R,
