The same as Adam before he was created. All of the elements of life were there, but until they were brought together in a certain combination - Adam did not exist.
Which is why conception is a wonderful miracle!

There are two primary views on how the soul / spirit is created. (1) Traducianism is the theory that a soul is generated by the physical parents along with the body. Support for Traducianism is as follows: (A) In Genesis 2:7 God breathed the breath of life into Adam, something which did not happen again. (B) Adam had a son in his own likeness (Genesis 5:3). (C) God did no further creating (Genesis 2:2-3). (D) Adam's sin affects all men -- both physically and spiritually -- this makes sense if the body and soul / spirit come from the parents.
(2) Creationism is the view that God creates a new soul / spirit when a human being is conceived. Creationism was held by many church fathers and also has Scriptural support. First, Scripture differentiates the origin of the soul from the origin of the body (Ecclesiastes 12:7, Isaiah 42:5, Zechariah 12:1, Hebrews 12:9). Second, if God creates each individual soul at the moment it is needed, the separation of soul and body is held firm. The ultimate answer to the question is that the soul / spirit does not exist before it inhabits the body. Whether the Traducianist view is correct or the Creationist view is correct, both agree that the soul does not exist prior to conception.

We were all spirit children of our Heavenly Father (and Mother) and lived in a pre-existance where we lived with God and Christ. A plan to come to earth was made, two plans were proposed actually, one was Satan's and one was Christ's. Father chose Christ's, Satan rebelled, he and his followers (1/3 of the hosts of heaven or spirit children) were cast out and will never have a body.

In our mother's womb.
A person doesn't exist until they are an embryo, or a short time after this. Then their conciousness develops along with their
senses and memory, and I'm not sure what else.

In the spirit world, our true home, and where we will return after we have completed our life's work on Earth. And then, in time, we may chose to incarnate back into the physical again.

Technically, in your mother's womb, but I doubt you're looking for the technical answer...
You weren't anywhere, as you didn't yet exist.
