Given that Mary got pregnant without being fertilized by a spermotozoa (and I believe her eggs never played any part either), it means that the being which grew in her womb was pre-existent. That Being, through the power of the Holy Spirit, transformed Himself into a tiny body of a fertilized egg, and implanted Himself a human being's womb, and then grew to maturity and was given birth to.
If you consider that it underwent a total transformation from being Spirit in personality, to a total body of a physical material form (manhood, or humanity if you like), then that being is in all respect that which He was before transformation, meaning that He is as He claims...I AM (God in Eternity). He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM".
But would like to see Mohammad's response to this.
