If you had a hysterectomy you cannot get pregnant.
I was cofused by that too, but OP actually has the spelling correct. It is this:
A hysterotomy is an incision in the uterus, commonly combined with a laparotomy during a caesarean section. Hysterotomies are also performed during fetal surgery.
In fetal surgery, without inhibition of uterine contractions, premature labor is a complication that occurs in 100% of hysterotomy cases.
I don't know enough about this to comment, but J-9 would be the one to explain to OP.
