?!?!?

I will be 32 weeks on friday with my second pregnancy and have had this question in my head, how early can you go in to labor after having an emergency c-section with the first pregnancy and being this baby is breech? Can you still get contractions when you have a breech baby or when you'd had a c-section? I know I still have a long way to go, but its just a question that has been jogging around my mind lol

You're supposed to wait 6 months to 2 years between children if you had a c-section so your body can heal. It also reduces the risk of complications. If you mean will you have Pre-term labour because of an emergency c-section, that shouldn't play any role in this. Yes you can (and will) get contractions regardless of position or last delivery. They only cut you open, not change  how your uterus works or what it does. Your baby now still has a long time for it to flip and go head down.

I don't think an emergency csection in your last pregnancy will have anything to do with labor this pregnancy. No matter what position baby is in you can go into labor and have contractions. You can even give birth vaginally with a breech baby it's just harder an comes with more risk
