Short answer - no.

Well, if you'd be able to overcome the cramps and the pain, it'd be possible for the lungs to move water in and out pretty much like they move air. Unfortunately our lungs can't extract (enough) oxygen to sustain life from water. We'd drown.

Is there water in the air you breathe in?

Yes Jupiter does have water. But it isn't "on" Jupiter. It is in the form of water vapor in the cloud tops. Jupiter does not have any air on it. If you travel to Jupiter, you will not be able to breathe because Jupiter's air is Just Gas. But if you wear An astronaut helmet then maybe you can breathe a little bit.

If babies can breathe in water in your belly then why cant we breathe under water?

Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born. Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it. Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
