No. Forshadowing is the showing hints of the future rather than telling us the future. When the author plainly states that somthing happened before they show us, it is boring. But dropping little hints here and there is good wrighting. But telling us that "I would later regret this action" or "This was a mistake" or "Later, I would learn that this was a bad idea." Don't really help the story overall.
