hemoglobin of 8.8 is not normal for a pregnant female.
you still need to take medications for that.
if normal delivery blood loss will be some what less compared to Cesarean section,

if she needs to undergo surgery arrange some more packets of blood.

please get evaluated for that severe anemia...
consult a general physician
