Eidetic memory, often referred to as "photographic memory," is an exceptional ability to vividly recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with high precision after only a short exposure to them. However, even individuals with eidetic memory do not possess the ability to recall everything from their childhood or time in the womb with perfect detail.

While people with eidetic memory may have enhanced memory capabilities compared to the average person, their memory is still subject to the limitations of human memory. Like everyone else, their ability to recall specific events or details may fade over time, and memories can be influenced by various factors such as emotions, distractions, and memory consolidation processes.

As for memories from the time spent in the womb, it is currently not possible for any human to recall such experiences, regardless of memory abilities. The brain of a developing fetus is not yet fully developed, and the formation of long-term memories typically requires a more developed brain and cognitive processes. Additionally, the experiences in the womb are vastly different from postnatal experiences, and the absence of language and cognitive development during gestation makes it improbable for anyone to recall memories from that period.

In summary, while people with eidetic memory may have impressive memory abilities, they still have memory limitations like everyone else. Recalling everything from their childhood or memories from the womb is beyond the capabilities of human memory.
