An Australian parenting blogger has revealed the eerie moment her young son started talking to her about something that happened before he was born - as if he remembered it.

Laura Mazza, also known as, themumontherun, took to Facebook on Tuesday to share the conversation with her followers.

She says her four-year-old son, Luca, claimed to remember his mum having a miscarriage before she was born, explaining how he died in her tummy and became an "angel" before returning to her.

In a post to her 200,000 followers, Laura wrote: "Before I was pregnant with Luca I had heavy bleeding.

"I remember having a positive pregnancy test and then a few days later bad pains and a heavy period. I wasn't sure what it was, and only now that I'm wiser I have an idea.

"I got pregnant with Luca pretty much straight away."

The mum-of-two goes on to reveal that she's always thought her son's spirit had "walked this earth before" as he's so wise and funny, but she wasn't prepared to have her suspicions 'confirmed'.

"Tonight, in the bath, he said something that really shocked me and made me truly believe he is an old soul.

"He said 'Mummy, do we live in Australia?'

"I said 'Yep we do! We live in Australia...' and he said 'I didn't. I lived in your tummy...'"

The mum went on to explain that he did live in her tummy once, but now he lives in Australia.

But Luca wasn't convinced.

"He said 'Yes mummy, I lived in your tummy... I was there, but then I died.

"I was shocked, and I said 'What do you mean, you're right here!'

"He said 'No mummy, I came to your tummy and then I died. I went looking for you but I couldn't find you, I went to your house, I went everywhere but you couldn't hear me when I called you, so then I was sad, but then I became an angel. I missed you so I wanted to come back to you so then I was a baby in your tummy again and then I was born again'."

Laura didn't know what to say to her son, so she simply stared at him, before bursting into tears.

"She added: "I've never had a conversation with him ever about angels or anything like that.

"Our babies know who they want to be their mummas long before we know they exist. Proof that they really do choose us and their souls are always with us in this life or the next."
