High risk pregnancy: Your physician there will know your specifics and if you are even advised to get pregnant again. Many women in your situation are advised against future pregnancies!

Depends.: If you have had a catastrophic uterine rupture with a fetal demise from tolac already, please accept my belated condolences and consider yourself lucky to be alive and well (get op report!). You are now definitely high-risk and merit management by a board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist with any future pregnancies - most should turn out well with a scheduled prelabor cesarean @36 week.
