A few people actually do remember things from their time in the womb. Others,
like my brother, have memories of the day they were born. Myself, I only have a
few, vague memories of my first few years. How about you guys? Please share your
stories, opinions or knowledge of the subject!
The idea for this topic came to me while I was doing some internet research for
a story I'm working on. Just to put another possibility in the air, this
website http://www.clambake.org/archive/books/tsos/sos-03.html
was one of the strangest search results on Google (amazing how many kinds of
webpages you get when putting the words "memory" "life" and
"womb" together).
(I checked back a ways, not every page - but I doubt this could be a repeat
thread. ...?)
My first memory was my third birthday, I remember we went to the playpark with
my friends and I grazed my knee (probably why I remember it as it was such a
traumatic experience )
I do have some distant memories of being in the womb... It's partially why I
don't sleep on my waterbed anymore, it can give me nightmares. (I assume I
didn't want to leave my mother. )
hmm.. i think i felt great there couse the only think i remember is how it was
to come out i would not come out
like planned i was 2 week longer in there
i felt rescued and certainly
I recall crying and not being able to stop. A middle-aged woman was rocking me
trying to get me to stop crying, then put me in a crib. I thought she said
something like, "I'm not going to hold you, you're just going to have to
stop crying on your own" in an exasperated tone. I remember the rocking
chair and the crib, and the patchwork quilt blanket. The woman was not my mom.
I remember feeling bewildered and a little sad.
In one of my earliest memories, I'm sitting at the kitchen table and watching my
mom feed my baby brother in his high chair. I have much clearer memories from
preschool - like the first day, when I picked a blue morning glory from a bush
outside and gave it to my mom in the hopes that she wouldn't leave me with these
strangers, heh.

Wow, I had two very similar experiences, one that I don't remember, (but was
told later) and one that I do. As a baby, I had colic very badly and wouldn't
stop crying one night when my dad was the only one home. Fed up and impatient,
he put me in the bassinet and then the bassinet in the kitchen, and shut the
door. I think that by the time my mother returned, I had cried myself to sleep.
my memories are getting less clear as time goes on. sometimes i think about an
experience and then wonder if:
a) it really happened
b) someone else told me about it
c) i saw it in a movie or on tv
d) it was a dream i had
I can remember being violently ill in the 2nd grade, when I was seven. Now
thats 13 years ago. Thats as far as I'm gonna be able to remember, but holy
toledo being able to remember that far, espically when techinally you weren't
even fully formed, thats crazy.

So true and potentially embarrassing...once, when a friend and I were talking
about dreams, a dream I claimed I'd had was actually one of hers that she told
me about before.

Until recently a lot of scientists would have agreed with you, but dozens of
studies done over the past two decades is changing the assumption that babies in
the womb are virtually deaf, dumb, and blind:
"... [Babies] smile and cry even in the womb; they are already social
beings, capable of interacting with others, imitating, and showing affection;
and they are already learning about themselves and their environments. Infants
have even been observed to put themselves into trance-like states (called
"staring bouts" in the clinical literature) which appear to be
spontaneous forms of meditation."
i remember sumthing when i was 2 1/2 yrs old..... i was lying down on the
bed.....

It's very rare to remember things before being 3 years old, but much easier to remember after -- That's when you have a major brain growth.
I remember when I was born. I didn't cry, I ordered! Doctor, get me a blanket, I'm cold!
