Feeling Off - Twin Pregnancy

This is my second pregnancy and I’m almost 21 weeks. I’m having di-di twins. I’ve had a healthy single pregnancy before this one. I have been having episodes of heart palpitations, dizziness, changes in vision, shortness of breath, and feeling like I’m going to faint. This is going on 3 weeks now. I have been regularly tracking my blood pressure and there is barely any fluctuation. My Dr just attributes this to possible dehydration or just a normal pregnancy symptom that’s just worse with twins. I can’t help but think something is just off, but also just not sure if I’m being overly anxious. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Maybe try more protein? Sometime so felt like that when I wasn’t getting enough fat & protein, I’m sure having twins you would need a lot more. I hope you feel better 🙏🏼

My last pregnancy I had LOW blood pressure and had the same symptoms. My doctor told me they can only help if it’s high. I found the only thing that worked were the packets of pedialyte in a bottle of water! The strawberry lemonade one was the only one that I could tolerate but it’s worth a shot!! If it’s low blood pressure or dehydration it could help either way!

Yes these are common ❤️ I remember feeling this way my first pregnancy too and I didn't even have twins!

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?

So does anyone talk about how rough the 1st trimester emotional waves are? 🥹🥺
