Thats a long while to wait for a scan. I had identical twin boys and was scanned at 12, 16, 19, 21 weeks then every 2 weeks until I had a planned section at 36 + 2. How often are you having them?
I'm 29 weeks now with non id boys. Although I felt pops and flutters from about 16 weeks I didn't feel any kicks until i was about 22 / 23 weeks. This is my 3rd pregnancy and the latest I have ever felt the babies move. Try not to worry, it doesn't seem to uncommon.
I also think you should be having more scans, i'm having what you've listed above, but i'm sure a lot of ID twin pregnancies have a 16 week scan too. It may be worth asking your midwife, but as you're 20 week scan is getting nearer they may not do anything xx
Non Id scans should be every 4 weeks, but id scans should be every 2 from 20 weeks, due to the risk of TTTS, which doesnt occur in non id pregnancies.
Dont worry about not feeling them...as I said, I didnt feel mine for a good while!
