Week 17: Twins - Play in the Womb Twins kick, touch, and play together in the womb. True That's right! From about 20 weeks onward, your growing twins will touch each other and move around the womb together.

Your regular clothing may have felt tight as early as 10 weeks, but you could still get away with wearing looser shirts and pants for a while.

You'll have the same number of screening tests as women who are expecting one baby, but because you're carrying twins, you'll get non-stress tests and more ultrasound exams.
