Steroids for sickness!

Just wondering has anyone been put on steroids for server morning (all day) sickness? I have been admitted to hospital for dehydration and been taking Ondansetron since. This never took away the constant nausea and I'm still sick a couple times a day but it has made me be able to slightly function. How ever every day I'm feeling worse and slowly getting back into the barely able to function state! I had a hospital appointment yesterday and the doctor said if I have to be re admitted the next step is steroid tablets how ever they don't like to use them at its last resort. I'm trying my best not to let it happen again but I'm struggling!

Has anyone else been put on steroids for sickness?

Not sure about in pregnancy but we use steroids as anti sickness in cancer patients and they are very effective...
Not sure how helpful or relevant that is for you though

I was on steroids for the first sixteen weeks of both successful pregnancies, to prevent miscarriage though not for sickness. No negative impact whatsoever on the babies and didn't have morning sickness.
