There's a lot out there but I'd recommend the fascinating: 
<http://www.birthpsychology.com/lifebefore/index.html>

Extensive site by the Canadian based "Association for Pre- and 
Perinatal Psychology and Health"

The site includes research, personal stories, etc.

One section is devoted to memory:
<http://www.birthpsychology.com/lifebefore/earlymem.html>

Hope it proves informative and interesting.  :)
