I started bleeding again after 7.5 week postpartum - bright red blood. I don’t think it’s my period, my GP was quite dismissive and didn’t look into it. Do you think it’s normal?

I am 13 weeks tomorrow and I still have nausea. I just feel so drained and tired. With my first it definitely went by now. I have not been sick for a while but the nausea is just lingering. I have some anti-sickness but they knock me out so I don't like taking them. When does it go?

I don’t know if it’s because I’m 28 weeks pregnant with a toddler? Or because I just genuinely feel so crap. Every single morning I wake up I feel shocking!
