Interestingly...I read this this morning.

Spirit experience before birth
What does the spirit experience during the period after it leaves spirit life and the moment of birth of an infant in its new body?
Before its birth it is still experiencing its spirit life, moving into another form. It is beginning to feel certain physical restrictions that it does not feel as a spirit. It is beginning to feel life connected in a more solid form than it did not feel as a spirit. It maintains its connection to its own spirit life though it begins to decrease. But until it's about two years old, a child is still connected, fairly strongly, with its spirit world and knowledge of the spirit world. It feels a complete restriction once it has moved into its own life versus growing within the womb and it at birth feels a complete physical restriction that it had not known until that time. As it continues until about two years old it is connected to a strong love bond. Infants who are born into abusive families even as infants are extremely confused because they have not understood about the lack of love and caring because it still has this other connection. We would say that though an infant is physically abused it has a spiritual support and connection that an adult or older child would not have.
Timing
This may be repetitious, but when does the spirit fully or partially occupy the infant's body in the mother's womb?
The spirit is almost fully occupied in the body from birth but it does not lose its full connection to its spirit being and its spirit life until about two years old.
How about before birth? Does it from time to time enter and be inside the infant's body while its in the womb?
Most definitely so. It is beginning a transition period. It is not like death. It does not happen instantaneously, where in death, it moves from the body instantaneously. As it becomes a new soul, it is experiencing the gradual restrictions of a body and the growth of moving from spirit into a human body. And it is being guided and given an understanding from a spirit guide, a spirit teacher, from what it will be going through and then at birth and oftentimes after birth it will feel this, though it does not really leave the body, it is able to fully feel and experience what the spirit world was.
