34 weeks with twins and feeling unsupported

I'm 34 weeks pregnant with twins and las t night I was up most of the night throwing up. This morning I have had diarrhea and contractions. Feeling pain in the hips and limited pressure. The contractions have not been consistent enough to go into L&D. I am also a mom to a 2 and 5 year old and been taking care of the 2year old all day. Also my son has a play tonight so we have family coming tonight to watch. So I have been cleaning to. I let my husband know what was going on. I am freaking out BC the babies are on their way soon and worried about their health. And I am not ready, bags aren't packed crib not put together, etc...he tells me he has an obligation to his students (he's a teacher) and will be staying late to help them. Do I have a right to be hurt by this? Anyone had their baby or babies this early? Were they OK and how long were they in NICU?

I had my daughter at 32 weeks due to eclampsia. She is 10 and healthy now.
She weighed 3lbs 13oz. She had bradycardia (slow heartrate), apnea (spells of stopped breathing), turned blue, was unquardinated with sucking, breathing, and swallowing, which caused more bradycardia so we put her on added rice formula because breast milk was too thin for her. She had ventricular septal defect (a hole in the heart), was fed through a nasogastric tube ("gavage"), was unable to maintain body temp, and had jaundice....
Anyway, all of her problems resolved on their own. They sent us home after 6 weeks in the nicu with a heart monitor and I had to feed her in a special attentive way (holding her head straight up and pulling the bottle every 4 ***** to prevent the slow heart episodes).
I think they will be just fine...you just have some hard work ahead that may be complex and emotional.
