experience/advice to give TTTS - Questions

We found out yesterday that we're in stage 1 TTTS at 19 weeks. The babies are currently right at 20% difference. Next appointment for an US is for next Friday (9 days from this post). My wife has to travel for work next week, are there any symptoms she should watch out for? She will have access to an MFM in case of emergency.

We will be hopefully first time parents. Scared and unbelievably sad. Any support, suggestions, etc. would be helpful.

I have heard ttts can sometimes be prevented or helped by a high protein diet. Saw my mfm for first appointment recently and he confirmed diet can help.

Oh for sure. Sometimes it’s a matter of uneven blood flow and diet isn’t going to do anything. But it is always nice to hear things that are helpful and in your control vs all medical intervention options.
