When DS was 2 I was strapping him into his car seat and he said 'did you know I tried to come to you when you were 16 but I was too small so I had to go back again?' (I'd had TOP). Then he'd say things like 'I remember when you were old and I had to look after you' or 'that's like my old car/clothes' when he saw pictures from around 1910... seems like we've done this together before....

This really moved me. I'd love to think my living children might be the soul from my previous termination. I so regret it. Lord only knows.

I remember hearing the idea of souls choosing their parents after having multiple miscarriages and being absolutely devastated. No one wanted me. Even after having my DS and DD, I catch myself thinking this is why no one wanted you if it's been a challenging day. I refuse to believe a soul choses evil and abusive parents.

I know this is an old thread but I hope this might bring you some peace or comfort:

The spiritual theory is that the souls of babies who are lost through termination or miscarriage go back to wait for their next chance to incarnate with their mother. So your children would be / are the souls of those you lost.

Also, that before (re)incarnation, we choose what lessons we need to learn in our next life to help us evolve upon our spiritual journey, which explains why some children are born to terrible parents and into terrible circumstances.

Likewise, sometimes some souls choose to reincarnate into certain lives because they will help another soul on their spiritual journey - so a soul will fulfil an unpleasant or sad part in someone else's life because of the life lessons one or both them need to learn.

And it follows that when a woman finds herself childless after miscarriages or terminations that it isn't a punishment, but another soul chose to incarnate with them for a very short time (because, life lessons).

Please, please don't think that you were ever unwanted.

Last year, when my daughter was about 4/5 (she's 6 now) she started to say she had a boyfriend, whom she was going to marry, but he died. Since then her story hasn't changed. She said they lived on an island, and the night before their wedding he went drinking alcohol (my husband and I are teetotal), although she told him not to as he was allergic to alcohol. And then he died.
She has just this past minute told us again about her boyfriend, and she said the drink was called Lassi.
My husband just googled it- it's a Greek whisky!
And she remembers "being put in to mummy's tummy" (mine).

My brother used to say when I was big before I was little.
My niece when she was 2 suddenly said my mummys dead.
My sister, her mum was sitting beside her at the time and goes to her hello ! My niece said, not you my other Mummy . The naughty policeman killed her and put her in the woods. From then till just before she started school she constantly talked about her other Mummy called Jollop! She had this whole backstory of where she lived, what they did and so on.
She had either lived before, or had a very active imagination

I wonder if she'd over heard conversations about Sarah everard

ilovepixie · 07/06/2024 08:50

No shes 20 now, this was over 15 years ago. It stopped when she was 5 and started school.

My sil had been told by the consultant after lots of tests she was infertile.
When our son was 3 he told her that he will let her baby play with his car.
Nothing was ever mentioned again.
When sil was 39. (25 years later)Her son was born.

Peanutbutterjelly123 · 07/06/2024 10:12

Not a past life as such, but I’ve been off my pill since December, tracking ovulation every month and haven’t ovulated once. I stopped tracking last month as it was getting me down.
DD is 20 months. One day about 3 weeks ago she kept saying to me over and over ‘mummy baby, mummy baby’ and patting my stomach. Later that day I got wha could be ovulation pain (I always get it), and 9 days later got my positive pregnancy test.

she’s never said anything like that before and hasn’t since.

When my daughter was 2, she woke first thing in the morning and told me "mummy, I used to call you Maman" Confused

SirQuintusAurelius · 08/06/2024 21:44

The cases of siblings who predeceased the child that they 'didn't know about' are far more likely to be cases of the children overhearing adults talking when the adults were unaware the child could hear or others mentioning it in their presence in the absence of the parent posting here - thus 'absorbing' the information subconciously.

Starland · 08/06/2024 22:02

When my son was 3 he was in the back of the car and pointed out the window and said " My men died in that field" . I always think it was an odd thing for such a young child to say. He has no recollection of it now

Not the point of the thread but lassi is Lassi (pronounced [ləsːi]) is a Punjabi yogurt–based beverage with a smoothie-like consistency.[1][2] It has been called "the most popular and traditional yogurt-based drink" in India.[

When my youngest was a few days old, I was burping her when she suddenly placed both her hands on my shoulder and pushed herself back and sideways, leaning back and looking me straight in the eyes.

It took me by surprise. All I could do was support her while she was scrutinising my face.
I felt she was thinking 'Who are you this time, and who am I?'

I told her what her name was, and that I was her Mum now, and that everybody loved her, and everything was going to be OK. She was safe with us.

After about a minute she relaxed and went back to letting me cuddle her.
It was like having a glimpse of a very old soul.

I had a very similar experience with DD about the same age. She was crying, I didn't know why, and I (slightly mad with sleep deprivation) asked her if she was remembering her old life, and she looked me dead in the eye and was suddenly silent, and I too felt like I was looking at a knowing and old soul, not a newborn.

Alice2024 · 09/06/2024 21:41

DD1 (now 11) told me when she around 2 that, "I remember Aunt Abbie from before". She said they were in a truck carrying the timber they had been cutting and a truck in front of theirs "didn't secure the logs right and they fell on our window and it went dark and noisy and we were killed". She elaborated on the details when I asked a few questions but I don't remember what else she told me. She doesn't remember this at all now.

Allie47 · 23/06/2024 07:59

I have a 6 year old and since he was 2 he's talked about his garage where he used to live and work but he had to leave to come live with us, there's a whole story he often tells us. I can't decide if he's telling us a past life or has a vivid imagination. He did mention the place name a couple years ago, I can't remember it now but it was an odd name and when I looked it up it was a place in Australia. We've never been and have no links 🤷‍♀️

BileBeansSara · 12/07/2024 19:31

From a young age, I've been able to remember living in a very cold climate where me and my family spent all of the short summer preparing for the very long dark cold winter. Working in fields to get fodder for our animals and salting and drying everything and storing it away.

The cold has never really bothered me and bad weather never gets me down either.

As an adult, I sent away my DNA for a test with Ancestry and my maternal haplogroup are from Siberia.

It's probably just a folk memory but I can remember wearing very rough cloth skirts and shawls and knitted headgear and knitted leggings that go into rolls just above my knees and boots that let the water in.

XMissPlacedX · 07/08/2024 15:07

Since I was little I have had a vivid memory of sitting in the front doorway of my house in Kent (I've never lived in Kent) waiting for my grandchildren to come home from school.

I lived in a corner of a cobbled stone street and can picture the whole house behind me, there was no electricity then and I used candles for lighting.

In my memory I'm very old, very calm and content. I know I'm waiting for a little girl and a little boy.

I was first about 4 years old when I told my mother this and still have the memory clear to this day ( I'm 40 now ).

CurlewKate · 07/08/2024 15:21

Yes they have. Small children say weird shit!

OVienna · 10/08/2024 08:58

When I was a child we visited the town where many members of my maternal family lived for decades. I was about three and told my parents I'd been there before. I am actually adopted and I've met some members of my birth family. Sometimes I do feel like I did make my way back to my "real" family. I know it's probably bollocks but I feel a very deep connection to my adopted family, I didn't have any of that "recognition" people describe when they finally met birth relatives.

What a beautiful post. I am so happy for you that this has happened for you in this way.

Helloworld56 · 10/08/2024 10:25

I'm finding this fascinating. I do think it's hard to believe that a person would choose to be born into horrible circumstances, in order to learn something.
Lots of children die very young, so what time would they have to absorb any lessons from their lives?
I think there is a lot more that we are not equipped to understand, so keeping an open mind.

Thank you. I mean - they are nice and it was very generous of them to fill in the blanks for me. I did appreciate that greatly, for other psychological reasons. We are in contact but it's not the same relationship as with the family I grew up with, on any level.

m00ngirl · 10/08/2024 23:53

@OVienna that's really beautiful. No one knows the connection better than you, I don't think it's bollocks at all. Also made me think of my beautiful niece who was adopted into our family, I feel a very deep connection to her, love her so so much, there is absolutely nowhere in this world I can believe she's meant to be other with us.

Yeah but we couldn't find anything

How about ‘Dunlop’ or ‘Dewlap’

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/09/2024 20:11

A friend’s nephew when no more than 4 or 5, used to come out with the most extraordinary things (factual knowledge) - they couldn’t understand how a child that age would know any such things,
When asked, he’d just say nonchalantly, ‘Oh, I learnt that when I was here before.’

The parents were fairly strict Catholics, and of course their church strongly disapproves of any ‘past life’ stuff, so I gather they were very relieved when it all stopped after he was about 5.
