Characters in fiction have improbable memory spans; specifically, they can recall events that occurred before the age of three or four with vivid detail, and their memories are completely accurate — not just memories of the event as it was told to them later, and not twisted by suggestion. Remembering one's own birth is particularly common.
This trope is quite far from Truth in Television; the inability to remember one's infancy is standard for humans and is known as Childhood amnesia. What's worse, most people can be easily tricked into "remembering" things that never happened (as demonstrated by, among others, Elizabeth Loftus).
Often associated with characters with an unusually, or even supernaturally, good memory or high intelligence, such as an elephant. Compare Brainy Baby, a character whose mental development may skip over the infantile phase entirely. In extreme cases, the character remembers being in the utero.

Megamind can remember the last thing his parents said to him before he was sent away as an infant. Granted, he's a supergenius alien and seemed to find living with his parents at eight days old to be 'embarrassing', so his mind probably works differently.

Dune: Alia mentions being able to remember when she was in the womb. Justified in that her mother Jessica OD'd on spice while (unknowingly at the time) pregnant, resulting in Alia's genetic memories awakening when she was still in utero, and when the Fremen who had her take the spice realize she was pregnant they're horrified since if they'd known they wouldn't have made her do it. All of the novels toy with this trope. In the sequels more characters are introduced who, like Alia, are infants but already have adult-level intelligence and memories from past lives.

X-Men
Storm is said to remember her infancy perfectly, including being born in New York City and moving with her parents to Cairo while still a toddler. What this has to do with weather control is anyone's guess, but Storm has long been a poster-girl for New Powers as the Plot Demands.
In New X-Men issue #121, Cassandra Nova, a Mummudrai from the astral plane, copies Charles Xavier's DNA and grows as a twin in Sharon Xavier's womb. Charles, as a fetus, can sense the evil within Cassandra and psychically attacks her.

House: Dr. House has a rather interesting variation in one episode of Season 3. Although the patient, a child, doesn't actually remember anything in the womb, he does think he was kidnapped by aliens. Eventually, House deduces (by mockingly trying to talk to Cuddy's stomach as if she were pregnant) that the patient's Kidnapped by Aliens beliefs were actually the byproduct of portions of his twin being absorbed into his brain during fetal development.

In The Belgariad's 'autobiography' of Polgara, she starts the story off describing her time in the womb. Her earliest memory is apparently when she and her twin sister split from one embryo to two. Needless to say, she also recalls her babyhood. Polgara is weird: the daughter of an immortal sorcerer and his shapeshifting wife.
It's specifically mentioned that Polgara's mother did this deliberately, with the assistance of the god Aldur, to better prepare her daughters for their future. That power was also used to alter Polgara in the womb, explaining why she is a Brainy Brunette (her sister had Hair of Gold) and seems stronger physically than average.

In an episode of The Simpsons, Groundkeeper Willie recalls how his father never said anything kind to him and just chewed him out. Cue the Flashback to Willie's father doing just this. The camera zooms back, and it is revealed that this happened just moments after Willie's birth. Back in the present, Willie claims that these were the last words his father ever said to him.
Another episode opened with Homer dreaming of being a baby happily swimming in the womb, only to start screaming when the water broke.

In an episode of Are You Being Served?, Mrs. Slocombe revealed that her earliest memory was an uncle with a bushy beard putting his face over her cot while she was still a baby. Weirdly, this was part of a ploy by the other characters to determine exactly how old she was (they believed it was her 50th birthday), which seemed to assume not only that her earliest memory would be from the year she was born, but that she would remember something newsworthy enough that it was recorded in history.

Another Code:
Ashley Mizuki Robbins is able to recall events from a little before and up to the day of her third birthday with decent clarity, as she's implied to have some kind of super memory. It's not perfect, as she mostly remembers her third birthday as a Flashback Nightmare and the events before it were only restored once she got back to the areas where they happened.
This is actually discussed - a scientist working with her father is a specialist in memory and specifically states that the brain doesn't develop to remember long-term memories in children younger than the age of 3 so he is actually skeptical about some of the things she claims to remember and is also a bit nervous, since some of the events she is recalling link to the time her mother was forced by her boss into a partial Mind Wipe when she quit in disgust at the direction their project was taking as well as possibly linking him as the Big Bad of the series.

Harry Potter: In the first book, Harry vaguely remembers a blinding flash of green light. He later finds out that the light was the Avada Kedavra curse which killed his parents when he was one year old. After Hagrid tells him this, he suddenly remembers it with an Evil Laugh accompanying the light. In the third book, the memories become a lot clearer thanks to the Dementors' power to dredge up a person's most traumatic memories. This may be justifiable by the fact that more traumatic memories are easier to recall even if you were young at the time. Especially as we later learn that part of Voldemort's soul was transferred to Harry during this event.

Mostly averted in We Bare Bears, as the bears in the present day do not make any reference to any of the adventures they had together as cubs, even when it involved visiting other countries, and they don't find a way to get in contact with any of the friends they made, implying that they have little or no memory of it.
Played a bit straighter with Ice Bear, who is said to be the youngest brother. He spent the first part of his life being looked after by a man called Yuri, who taught him some of the skills he is seen using in the present, and they were eventually separated. There's one episode where a woman Ice Bear is friends with leaves behind her locket that she claimed was from her father, and inside he sees a picture of Yuri and his family, and immediately recognises him.
Downplayed in We Bare Bears: The Movie, where Grizz at first has trouble remembering how he and his brothers escaped an approaching train shortly after they first met.

Averted in Calvin and Hobbes. Six-year old Calvin gives up writing his autobiography because he can't remember the whole first half of his life.
In a later comic where Calvin notes that he doesn't remember anything from before he was three, even freaking out and wondering if someone had brainwashed him to keep some secrets hidden, Hobbes comments that he remembers Calvin spending a lot of time burping up. If you take the view that Hobbes is a creation of Calvin's mind, then it's possible that Calvin still has his earliest memories but can't consciously access them. If you consider Hobbes a separate entity, however, it's a subtle retcon of how the two met as it implies he was always around from the start of Calvin's life in one way or another.

Medaka Box: Medaka and Zenkichi first met each other when they were two years old, at which time Medaka proposed but Zenkichi said no. Medaka remembers this because she's a superhuman being and assumes Zenkichi's feelings haven't changed; meanwhile, Zenkichi knows that they met but doesn't recall any specifics, least of all the proposal (and even if he did, he probably wouldn't take it seriously). As a result, each of them has feelings for the other but wrongly assumes it's one-sided. At least until Zenkichi wins the Student Council election.

This is averted in Kill la Kill AU with Ryuuko, who cannot remember anything before three-years old. This is noted in Part 2/part 4 of comic 25, where she is currently eight and doesn't remember what happened to Ragyo six years prior but she does feel her absence, describing it as "the warmth that had been gone from her life for some time". Satsuki, however, can remember things from when she was two, stating that is when her memories first began, along with that being the age she learned how to change diapers. Of course, Nui lampshades it by saying, "There is no fucking way you remember that."

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Eoleo comments on Kraden having not aged a day since they encountered in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, at which time Eoleo was a toddler. It's immediately commented on, with the excuse that he was a very precocious toddler.
Pointedly averted in the first two games, where it's a plot point that Ivan doesn't remember his birth family.

The Child/Grogu in The Mandalorian remembers the tragedy of Order 66. Justified more than most as he is a long lived alien child so it’s not unreasonable to assume he could remember stuff like this despite appearing to be an infant/early toddler to most other beings.

The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon Cooper insists he hasn't forgotten one thing since his mother stopped breastfeeding him. (Note that it doesn't say how old he was.)
This gets reiterated in the spinoff prequel Young Sheldon. In one episode, George and Mary instruct Sheldon to forget something he's heard, and he tersely reminds them that he's incapable of forgetting. He claims to be able to remember his own birth, adding that it was a horrible experience.

In The Mysterious Benedict Society, this is Zig-Zagged with Constance Contraire. She remembers the events of the first book for the rest of the series despite being two years old at the time, but remembers next to nothing before that. However, those memories are also wedged in the back of her mind, not completely forgotten. It’s noted that since she does have a hyper-developed mind, her memories also work differently. Her memories are eventually brought back through the reprogrammed Whisperer in The Prisoner’s Dilemma.

Ayakashi Triangle: Suzu being the reincarnation of the ayakashi medium made her fully conscious since her own birth—even though previous lives only regained their memories gradually as they grew up. "Suzu" doesn't remember it anymore, though, because she's a Split Personality lacking most of her memories before diverging in early childhood, but the original personality still does.

Interestingly, a deleted scene in the rebooted Star Trek (2009) also shows a similar birth scene, except Sarek expresses nothing but pride for his son. Possibly, this was done because few people like the fifth film.

In The Irregular at Magic High School, this trope is one reason Tatsuya has always suspected that Miyuki (who is a few months younger than him) isn't his "real" sister. He knows that infants don't have memories, and there's no way of proving he's right...yet he distinctly recalls being in a cradle, with Miya, his mother, bending over him. Miya didn't look pregnant, in the way she would have were Miyuki really born when everyone says she was. He later discovers that Miyuki was artificially created by geneticists.

Blade:
Blade remembers his own birth and the subsequent death of his own mother (occurring only shortly afterwards). Whether this is the result of the whole vampire thing is never addressed.
Dr. Doom, in a Blade comic, went significantly beyond this, actually remembering what his mother was doing while he was in the womb. (Then again, mother and son are both potent mages, so...)

Similarly, its implied that Raiden has some memories of his birth in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, as he mentions that he was "born on a rainy day." As his parents were murdered by Solidus while he was still very young, it's unlikely that they would have told him.

Alias from the Forgotten Realms novel Azure Bonds has vivid memories of the day she was born. Except the memories are fake, she's a construct created just a few days before the novel began. This means that her creator succumbed to an in-character use of this trope, when he gave her those memories.

Gems in Steven Universe are fully cognizant from the instant they are Born as an Adult, and thus remember their own births. Peridot describes her own creation as simply, "I didn't exist. Then I did."

A large part of The Boss Baby is that the villain Francis E. Francis was once a Boss Baby himself. He remembers everything since the day he was in essence “born� into a family after the Boss Baby formula stopped working on him, which fuels his motivation to destroy Baby Corp.. It’s justified because he kept his Baby Corp. pacifier which allowed him to retain his memories.

In All Grown Up!, a spinoff where the babies were now pre-teens, it is shown on several occasions that the kids still remember things they've done when they were babies. For example, Tommy mentions that he used to keep a screwdriver in his diaper in "Rachel Rachel" and "The Curse of Reptar" has the gang remember that Reptar was the subject of the first movie they saw and the first ice show they saw, referencing the original series episodes "At the Movies" and "Reptar on Ice" respectively.

In On Drakon, Arman states that he can remember the day he was born, though he really wishes he couldn't. In a slight variation, it's not made totally clear if the situation is truly this trope or a Genetic Memory inherited from his father.

In One Piece, Vinsmoke Reiju clearly remembers the fight her pregnant mom had with her dad about manipulating the unborn Vinsmoke quadruplets' bloodline elements. Given that she's three years older than her younger brothers, she must have been around two at the time. She admits that she didn't truly understand what the fight was about until she was older, but fact remains that she remembers what her parents said in the situation word-for-word.

Rugrats
In "Mothers Day", the babies discussed their earliest memories. Tommy's was being born or, rather, being in an incubator. Of course, Tommy is only a year old and the entire point of the show is babies with more cognitive skills than probable. Likewise, said episode, Phil and Lil reminisce on when their mother used to breastfeed them.
In "Stu Makers Elves", Chuckie describes a recurring nightmare which the viewer will realize is his birth. Oddly, as shown in "Mother's Day", even though he's about two, he doesn't have any memory of his mother Melinda before she passed away but he does remember her as "the nice lady from his dreams"
In All Grown Up!, a spinoff where the babies were now pre-teens, it is shown on several occasions that the kids still remember things they've done when they were babies. For example, Tommy mentions that he used to keep a screwdriver in his diaper in "Rachel Rachel" and "The Curse of Reptar" has the gang remember that Reptar was the subject of the first movie they saw and the first ice show they saw, referencing the original series episodes "At the Movies" and "Reptar on Ice" respectively.

It is implied in the original Japanese script and the script for the remake of Metal Gear Solid, as well as stated in the Director's Commentary for the same game, that Psycho Mantis subconsciously remembers his own mother giving up her own life to give birth to him.
Similarly, its implied that Raiden has some memories of his birth in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, as he mentions that he was "born on a rainy day." As his parents were murdered by Solidus while he was still very young, it's unlikely that they would have told him.

The "Banana Formula" arc of Rocky and Bullwinkle had a plot point of Bullwinkle having a Photographic Memory when it came to whatever he ate. Rocky tests the degree of Bullwinkle's talent by asking him what he had for dinner 25 years ago. Bullwinkle replies that it was moose milk, then adds that he was a baby at the time, so he always had moose milk for dinner back then.

Averted as a major plot point in Love Hina. Keitaro knows that he made a Childhood Marriage Promise with a girl when he was around four, but he doesn't remember their name or what they looked like. The girl in question turns out to be Naru, who doesn't remember any of it because she was only two at the time. Mutsumi (who was friends with both of them and responsible for the promise in the first place) fully remembers everything, but she was already six.

In Gensokyo 20XX, we have two examples of this. In Yukari's case, this is played straight, in that she can recall things from when she was two, then again, she is a youkai, so this could be explainable, if not justified. In the case with Maribel and Renko, this is a tad downplayed in that they can remember bits and pieces from the past surrounding the time a little before and while meeting Yukari. Of course, they can only describe the very little they know. In Reimu's scenario, this is possibly averted in that she probably doesn't remember much a little before and during imprisonment.

He goes on to explain that he was born three weeks early because he couldn't take all the noise he heard from the outside world (especially because Mom was using prenatal speakers to talk to and play classical music for him) and that as a result he has been trying to catch up on all the sleep he missed out on ever since. His love of long baths also stems from memories of peacefully floating in the womb.

In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Sybok conjures Spock's most distressing, self-torturing memory, which turns out to be his father dissing him seconds after his own birth.
Interestingly, a deleted scene in the rebooted Star Trek (2009) also shows a similar birth scene, except Sarek expresses nothing but pride for his son. Possibly, this was done because few people like the fifth film.

Averted in Baby Geniuses, where it is revealed that babies before the age of 2 are ridiculously smart (thanks to the experiences of their past life). Around the age of 2, they "cross over" and forget everything that happened before, becoming normal children. The main characters' adopted father actually manages to teach himself to understand infants' "speech".
This may be a Shout-Out to the Mary Poppins books by P.L. Travers in which it's revealed that all infants have memories of their lives just before birth and can even communicate with animals—until they reach the age of two or so. Then they become regular children. Only Mary Poppins herself seems to have retained her infantile memories and ability to communicate with animals.
In the sequel, one of the characters is a baby whose aging was halted before age two thanks to his father's invention. He'll always be a genius, but he'll also never be able to grow up.

Dragon Quest:
Remakes of Dragon Quest III add the Recall/Remember/Recollect skill, which lets the Hero remember anything they've memorized. Learning and casting the stronger spells allows the Hero to recall things from further and further back in time. Including the last time they heard their father's voice, back when they were very young.
Dragon Quest V starts with the main character dreaming about his own birth.

Disney's Tangled includes a scene in which Rapunzel has an epiphany and remembers being the king's and queen's baby. The flashback is pretty blurry, though. The opening narration implies she was one day old at the time. She had a lot of hair and was very... active for a day old infant, so it could be the magic of the flower or something.

YuYu Hakusho: Hiei states that he can see and hear before he was born and as a newborn can understand what is happening around him. It may be justified since he's a demon, but it appears his twin sister Yukina does not remember this time.

Stewie from Family Guy also remembers being a homunculus within a sperm cell, as does his half-brother, Bertram. Then again, they're mutant supergeniuses. Or something. Stewie is an odd case, since he not only remembers being born; he is depicted as having been fully functioning and able to speak, write, and draw a map of Europe prior to his birth. (In one rather disgusting off-hand comment, he tells Brian that he carved "Brooks was here" in the wall of the birth canal.)

Dragon Ball Z: The first Broly movie. The titular villain has a deep, sadistic, personal hatred for Goku, because Goku's crying bothered him when they were newborns. For about one day maximum. Possibly justified in that this is an alien we're talking about, here. The only other time a Saiyan's infant memories are mentioned in the Anime/Manga is when Raditz asks if Goku received any head injuries when he was young. The way he talked, you'd almost expect that a Saiyan can recall their entire lives.

Dr. STONE: A man from Kohaku's village who goes nameless for much of the story is shown to have perfect recall of his arrival in the village and even of his father's face, despite both happening when he was an infant, which was also the last time he saw his father. This villager, named Soyuz after the space capsule that brought astronauts back to Earth after everyone turned to stone, is the son of the leader of a island country whose heads would choose wives for their strong memory to better retain the 100 Tales which tells their lore.

Like in canon, Dexter in Invisible Sun was a Brainy Baby who understood adults from a very, very young age. He still remembers much of his infancy. Unfortunately, he remembers things he wasn't supposed to understand, such as how he was an unplanned pregnancy. He also remembers his parents frequently complaining about him.

Star Trek: Voyager
Harry Kim claims to remember being in the womb. However, this is never confirmed to be a true memory and Paris thinks it's absurd.
In the episode "Q2", Q's son voices how annoyed he was when Janeway cooed over him as a baby. She's surprised he can remember that, but of course, the Q are Sufficiently Advanced Aliens.

In ElfQuest, it's probably caused by Our Elves Are Different.
Skywise remembers "a sight burned into his infant brain when [he] was just hours old", including his mother's face.
After the memories are triggered by a scent, Teir remembers his mother. One of the panels of that short flashback is drawn from the perspective of an infant being breastfed.
The elven infants stay in the womb for two years or more. They are also become capable of telepathy while in the womb, at least with the mother, and possibly with the father. (For comparison, in humans brain waves of the 'dreaming' type are detectable at at least five weeks.) It is entirely possible an elven child's brain is at a different level of development at birth.

In Ender's Shadow, Bean is able to remember a fair amount of his own infancy, and was lucid enough to hide just before the "clean room" where he has been cared for is raided. This is justified by his eidetic memory. And his genetically-enhanced, ultra-powerful intellect; he was not just remembering it, he was fully conscious, although almost totally non-socialised.

Zigzagged in Kingdom Hearts. Riku seems to remember his first encounter with Aqua and Terra back when he was 4 years old, although he still needs others' details to back it up (most importantly, their names; they did not bother to reveal them to him back then). However, Sora, who was also with him, does not recall the memory at all. Kairi, too, cannot recall that she met Aqua and Mickey when she was a toddler living in Radiant Garden. Then again, Sora and Kairi are a year younger than Riku, which might have muddled their memories.

In the Assassin's Creed games, genetic memory is apparently detailed enough that one can relive the birth of an ancestor through the Animus. When Altaïr impregnates Maria Thorpe, we find out that genetic memory even lets one remember being sperm!

In The Secret Commonwealth, the second novel in the The Book of Dust series, Lyra tells a minor character about her memory of being brought to Oxford as a baby. The memory isn't entirely accurate, for instance she admits she isn't certain if the horse she remembers riding on was real, but the memory has enough similarity to the actual events of her arrival in Oxford, as told in the first book of the series La Belle Sauvage, to suggest she may be partially remembering the actual events of her arrival. Lyra was an infant at the time this happened.

Invoked in Jeramey Kraatz's Fall of Heroes. Amp's parents fell in battle when he was four. Now he is fourteen, and remembers them more from photographs than real life — which he finds surprising. Especially after the discovery they are still alive and the unsettling realization they are strangers to him.
