Yes, that is true that another c-section birth can prevent tearing, but not always. It depends upon the reason you had a c-section the first time. Why did you have a caesarian section for your first child?

I HAD A TEAR IN THE MEMBRANE I WAS LEAKING WATER WITH LITTLE BLOOD, I HAD CONTRACTIONS AT THE TIME BUT I NEVER DIALTED.

Having one caesarian section doesn’t necessairly mean that you will have a second. The causes and conditions during your first pregnancy (A TEAR IN THE MEMBRANE, LEAKING WATER WITH A LITTLE BLOOD, CONTRACTIONS BUT NO DILATION) may not be present during a second delivery.
