If they hold off on food again, you can ask for clear foods, ie a clear soup, jelly, at least it is something, and yeah hospital food isn't great, but if they are allowing you to eat get someone to bring something in to you, that is what I did at the NICU hopsital I had DD1 in (food was horrific).
Write down your questions, so next time a registrar?OB comes in you are prepared and you can even give them the list of questions.
Getting angry and frustrated at people and the system isn't the best way, just look at it from the perspecitive if you have someone getting angry and frustrated with you, do you do your best to help them.... As hard as it is try to relax as much as you can and be calm and collected, they are keeping a close eye on you and your babies. Your HR may be high because you are stressed.
And why can I say all of this... I have been there albeit with one baby on board.. I endured 8 weeks of contractions (on strict bed rest from 28 weeks), medicated from 22 weeks, and many days they were coming every 5min or so, by the end I was contracting every 3-4 minutes with only a 2-3min gap for days on end. BUT as my OB said at the 32 week mark it is when the uterus can go a bit nuts, mine went ballistic but if you can get of this hurdle it can settle a bit, at the same stage mine did I was contracting as much as you are so I know what that feels like. I know the exhaustion, the pain, the WTF is going on, is my baby ok through all of this (your case babies), but I took it minute by minute, hour by hour.
At least you are in the best place if something doesn't go to plan and that plan, yes it can change by the minute, that is why they won't commit to a concrete plan, because it is constantly changing. So the best advice is to try and rest as much as possible, if you are getting angry, or frustrated step away from what ever is fuelling that anger and frustration as much as possible. Write do the questions you want answered. If you need an advocate call your Doula or one of the others who has offered here. Your husband should not be on the visiting hours of the general public, I would be putting that in your questions, he may not be able to stay with you overnight, but he should be able to spend more time with you.
I hope my post doesn't anger you
