maddy,  that is a real blessing that they know that going in.

Yes,  if you delivered vaginally you would most likely bleed to death,  even in a hospital.

I have an acquaintance who died,  and a friend who very nearly did but they were able to do an emergency hysterectomy to save her.  

Best wishes.  At 34 weeks, your baby should do just fine.
