Zofran or no zofran…?

I’ve struggled with severe hyperemesis this pregnancy. I’ve been sick everyday and had multiple days in a row of not being able to keep down any food or water. I recently ended up in the hospital for a few rounds of IV fluids. They prescribed me zofran to take every couple of hours, and it helps SO MUCH. However… I read online that it does have some side effects and could potentially affect the baby. There is some correlation between zofran in the first trimester and cleft palates. So now I’m scared to take it, but I also know that dehydration and malnutrition is more dangerous to the baby…. What am I supposed to do??

Did anyone take zofran regularly with the pregnancy? Did you use it sometimes instead of daily? Nothing else has worked for me, so please don’t suggest ginger chews or motion sickness bands of whatever else. This is not your casual morning sickness. I’m losing serious weight over here 🤢
