They do have experience of the outside world.

Sound.

Once they have developed hearing they can hear music, speech. Plenty of stuff.

Also It's said that they feel the emotions of the mother.

Dreaming is not so much about what you've seen but what you've felt. The subconcious sifting through stuff, unhindered by concious thought.

Being born itself is supposed to be a major traumatic experience for them.

But how do people ascertain that? It's not like most of us remember (though I've met a few who do remember it) or that crying is an indication. Most cry from getting whacked on the bum don't they?
