Juliette delivered him. She always delivered him. She first arrived on the island somewhere around 2001, lived in the barracks with the Others until 2004, jumped back in time to 1974, delivered Ethan in 1977. That's the way it always happened.

When Ethan met Juliette in 2001(ish) he was meeting the doctor that delivered him in 1977. It happened in his past, but Juliette's future.
