Hi Minxoto:
I think it can help to look at bat behavior. Some species return to a cave. (And some species don't, btw -- they rest their days in trees and other places. But many people know only of the cave-dwelling ones, so they tend to be the more iconic version, though lessons vary some by species.)
Cave can represent a womb, but it can also mean a safe place, a place for the retreat and contemplation that often follows some trauma or other extremely challenging time, and that precedes major growth.
The major growth that follows the time in the cave is the rebirth. It means that when you emerge from the metaphorical cave, you leave behind some things that no longer serve you. This can make Bat's lessons less than easy to go through.
Any associations that come up for you personally, like those you mention, can also become part of how Bat communicates with you personally. I think part of the joy of this is that we all can develop our own inner vocabulary with the guides.
All the best. <3
