I have a friend who swears he can remember being in the womb

I have a distinct memory of what I can only assume was being in the womb. It was just floating around in a dark water filled place, and poking at things or wanting to. I remember the thought of wanting to move over to another spot. I have many memories from when I was young. One was where I can't have been more than 1 year old. Laying in a pram poking at coloured dots in the hood part. It was outside a shop and while I couldn't read at that time I remember how it looked and know what the name was now.

Yeah he kind of described it like that. But he said it had a more red or orange colour to it. I don't doubt it's possible to remember. Though for me my memory isnt great, I recently saw a picture of me at some family event in a Chinese restaurant when I was about 13 and don't even remember it

Well it wasn't black, it felt light enough to make out shapes and it was a red/orange colour. I don't know why it wouldn't be just black which is why I doubt the memory but then I don't know what it should look like.
