Hyperemesis: Not the typical advice | ergonomicz.com

Hyperemesis gravidarum or uncontrolled nausea and vomiting of pregnancy can be treated and prevented with a few simple tips.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of uncontrolled nausea and vomiting typically during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Sometimes it may be called morning sickness, which could be all day and night sickness.

This condition is caused by the hormones of pregnancy, which are strong.

These hormones can cause heightened sense of smell which can make a person’s favorite food, drink, or perfume unbearable.

People are often told to eat healthy during pregnancy which often means fruits, salads, and water.

During pregnancy people say that the bland taste of water can make them feel nausea or worse.

During pregnancy people say that the types of food they are eating can make them feel bad, often healthy foods if this is new for the person

Once the nausea and vomiting starts, it can be difficult to get it to stop.

There are medications available, but be aware that they are mostly treating the symptoms not the cause, which are the strong hormones.

Some good news about this condition, usually it means the pregnancy is strong

WHAT TO DO TO FEEL BETTER

If you are not hungry do not eat.  Your body has enough energy and nutrition to go a few days.

When you get hungry eat what you want to eat.

Eat greasy, salty food.

Drink sweet drinks, our drinks with a flavor that you want to drink like strawberry-kiwi fruit punch.     

If you are a vegan and want a cheese burger, consider eating a burger. Or eat that pizza, french fries, chips, special dish on your mind, etc.

Eat small, frequent meals. You may be full in two or three bites because digestion slows during pregnancy, so you may have to eat ten time a day.  

If you have headaches, is it because you stopped drinking caffeine? Have a cup of coffee, or eat some chocolate, or drink a cola.

People will volunteer a lot of advice, so be careful of tips even from friends and family.

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is what it is, natural. 

It usually will stop by itself be fourteen weeks.

So hang on, be prepared, listen to your body, and good luck because you can do this!

Welcome to the Gutenberg Editor

Of Mountains & Printing Presses

The goal of this new editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable. This whole post is composed of pieces of content—somewhat similar to LEGO bricks—that you can move around and interact with. Move your cursor around and you’ll notice the different blocks light up with outlines and arrows. Press the arrows to reposition blocks quickly, without fearing about losing things in the process of copying and pasting.

What you are reading now is a text block the most basic block of all. The text block has its own controls to be moved freely around the post…

… like this one, which is right aligned.

Headings are separate blocks as well, which helps with the outline and organization of your content.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Handling images and media with the utmost care is a primary focus of the new editor. Hopefully, you’ll find aspects of adding captions or going full-width with your pictures much easier and robust than before.

Beautiful landscape
If your theme supports it, you’ll see the “wide” button on the image toolbar. Give it a try.

Try selecting and removing or editing the caption, now you don’t have to be careful about selecting the image or other text by mistake and ruining the presentation.

The Inserter Tool

Imagine everything that WordPress can do is available to you quickly and in the same place on the interface. No need to figure out HTML tags, classes, or remember complicated shortcode syntax. That’s the spirit behind the inserter—the (+) button you’ll see around the editor—which allows you to browse all available content blocks and add them into your post. Plugins and themes are able to register their own, opening up all sort of possibilities for rich editing and publishing.

Go give it a try, you may discover things WordPress can already add into your posts that you didn’t know about. Here’s a short list of what you can currently find there:

  • Text & Headings
  • Images & Videos
  • Galleries
  • Embeds, like YouTube, Tweets, or other WordPress posts.
  • Layout blocks, like Buttons, Hero Images, Separators, etc.
  • And Lists like this one of course 🙂

Visual Editing

A huge benefit of blocks is that you can edit them in place and manipulate your content directly. Instead of having fields for editing things like the source of a quote, or the text of a button, you can directly change the content. Try editing the following quote:

The editor will endeavor to create a new page and post building experience that makes writing rich posts effortless, and has “blocks” to make it easy what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery.

Matt Mullenweg, 2017

The information corresponding to the source of the quote is a separate text field, similar to captions under images, so the structure of the quote is protected even if you select, modify, or remove the source. It’s always easy to add it back.

Blocks can be anything you need. For instance, you may want to add a subdued quote as part of the composition of your text, or you may prefer to display a giant stylized one. All of these options are available in the inserter.

You can change the amount of columns in your galleries by dragging a slider in the block inspector in the sidebar.

Media Rich

If you combine the new wide and full-wide alignments with galleries, you can create a very media rich layout, very quickly:

Accessibility is important — don’t forget image alt attribute

Sure, the full-wide image can be pretty big. But sometimes the image is worth it.

The above is a gallery with just two images. It’s an easier way to create visually appealing layouts, without having to deal with floats. You can also easily convert the gallery back to individual images again, by using the block switcher.

Any block can opt into these alignments. The embed block has them also, and is responsive out of the box:

You can build any block you like, static or dynamic, decorative or plain. Here’s a pullquote block:

Code is Poetry
