Firstly- make sure there is a gap of 2- 3 years between first and second delivery. It helps your body to cope up well from last delivery.
Later - plan for pregnancy after making sure all your blood parameter are normal such as rbs, hb and thyroid profile . If the above parameters r normal.. there are less chance of risks in your case. If you are planning pregnancy there are certain drugs to be avoided which cause harm to baby . Consult a gynecologist and discuss .

You definitely can plan a second pregnancy
Make sure your TSH levels less than 2.5 preconceptionally
Hba1cis less than 6.5
The risks can be well managed by giving an injection following delivery of the baby to prevent pph
