Obesity in pregnancy

CPD hours:
1

This module discusses the potential short-term and long-term impacts of obesity in pregnancy for both mother and child. Included in this discussion is how specialised monitoring and care by midwives, primary care nurses, and other maternal healthcare team members can assist in preventing or minimising these adverse consequences.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
