I'm considering a third child, but am wondering about the birth. I have had two c'sections, one emergency at 33weeks and the 2nd elective. Because I had the first at 33 weeks, I believe the cut may have been higher as the baby hadn't yet engaged. Would this cause a problem in uterus rupture for a VBAC?

They would make the incision in the same part of the uterus because they try to do it in the most non-contracting part of it. How far along you are would not affect it. As long as you had a lower transverse incision you would have the same chance/risk for a VBAC.
