Yes it is. I have been practicing meditation for 40 years now. All through my life in meditation I would ocassionally feel this strange sensation of my head being squeezed. I thought it was a migraine or some sort of yogic movement.
Gradually I began to see that I had been feeling this strange squeezing sensation in my head accompanied by a weird tase in my mouth, ever since I was a small child.
I never really understood what it meant. I was in a 6 month meditation retreat in 1994. During this time I experienced this squeezing sensation more and more during my meditation sessions until one night I had the distinct memory that this was my own birth experience!
I remembered being born, how it stressed my skull and body and the tastes and sensations of this experience. Since then this squeezing sensation has gone away.
For many years I felt on the verge of understanding what these sensations meant, and finally I found out.
It was the moment of my own birth.

I guess NO.
People, even children older as 5, hardly remember what happened in the first 2-3 years of their lives.
The only way you could know for sure is asking a newborn what they remember. Unfortunately verbal communication is learned 2-3 years after and most toddlers don't understand the idea of birth before they're 4-6 years old. By that time they already forgotten the first year of their life.
You could see for yourself what your earliest memories are and... ask your parents how old you were when those things happened.

Don't listen to these people saying no. Your brain records your whole life. Every thing you see, hear, touch, feel and smell. From before you where born and in the mothers whomb. The experience is in the back of your brain somwhere, you just have to locate it. Think about, when you remeber something from your past it become much more vivid as you continue to concentrate and think about that perticular event, no matter what that event in your life may be. But chances are you wont find such a distant memory in your brain, even though the event has been recorded.

I remember things back to 6 months. I think it would be a rare thing to remember back to birth, or simply the moment of birth because of the mechanism built into us to forget great pain. The baby definitely experiences not only pain in birthing but also shock from cold and light.

I don't think so. You don't have anything to compare your perceptions with. Knowing something is the act of measurement against a standard and you have no standard that first day. You're taking in perceptions and observations but you have no way of organizing or referencing your perceptions.

It would probably be remembered as a very frightening experience. Being ripped away from everything you've known...somewhat violently...

I don't think so. Long-term memory does not take shape for some months (years?) after birth.

No, nobody's brains are developed to that extent for at least a year or two.

I'm not sure I'd WANT to...Seems like it'd be pretty traumatic, and your eyes aren't even working properly at that point.
