She wouldn't immediately die. My take was she passed out from shock, but she was still bleeding out and wouldn't be likely to wake up. Certainly wouldn't survive being moved. If Hershel can survive his leg being hacked off, then Lori can survive having her stomach muscles cut through. However, she was already (probably) dying from internal bleeding.
So Carl's mom wasn't dead when he finished her off. She was just sleeping.
