I have heard of strange medical cases dealing with a baby's developement in the womb.

Developmentally speaking there are all kinds of strange cases, but hormones from the mother would get to each twin in similar concentrations, and if both twins are genetically identical, then the hormone will have the same response.

Actually, that is not exactly true, it depends on if each twin had been separated to the point of having two different sacks and/or placentas, and whether or not those (or that single) placenta(s) filtered the mother’s hormones in different proportions to each twin during their time in the womb.
