No Buddhists believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation requires a soul to pass into the next life, a vital and indispensable aspect of Buddhism is Anatta, or 'no soul'.

Most Buddhists believe in rebirth, that after their death the karma they have accumulated in their life but not paid for will be spent out in another life, like passing a flame from one candle to another; it is not the same flame, nor is it another.

You have to be dead to be reincarnated, that's how it woks. Being reincarnated while you are alive would create two "you"s and while this works well for the song (Happy birthday two yous) it could cause many other difficulties.
