Social Life Starts in the Womb

Wow that was certainly an interesting yet strange article.  The article talked about how the womb provides the first opportunity for social bonding.  The twin fetuses start to reach out for one another and as the weeks go by the fetuses spend more time touching their neighbor then themselves or the wall of the uterus.  The findings suggest that the twin fetuses are more aware of their counterparts and prefer to interact with them in the womb.  This was definitely an interesting article and I guess that’s why many twins have a somewhat closer bond then siblings who aren’t twins.  Because they have to share the womb, they may also be sharing other things like thoughts and feelings.  I don’t know if this is actually true, but I have heard that many twins seem to feel each other’s thoughts and feelings.
