Actually, she answered this question a while ago on the Twilight Lexicon, which is a website she sponsors and moderates.

(SPOILER)
"Question: Can vampires have babies? What happens when a woman is pregnant and gets changed?

SM: No. In the Twilight universe, a vampire's only bodily fluid is its venom; this replaces the saliva and other fluids. Thus, vampires have no sperm, so they cannot make vampire babies. When a human is changed into a vampire, they are essentially "frozen" and thus will stay same way forever. If a pregnant woman is changed, she will remain pregnant forever, no matter what stage her pregnancy was in, two days or eight months, and the baby will never be born.

This also explains Alice's hair. Before she was changed, she was in an asylum, so her hair had been shaved off, and it was just growing back when she was changed. If you have long hair and you are changed, but then you cut that hair, it will not grow back. They can style their hair, though, such as getting hair extensions or using curling and straightening irons. "

It was deleted shortly after BD was released. I think that they deleted it to make her story (that she had planned for the baby to happen during the making of Twilight) plausible.


This is part of the reason I didn't like it. She just keeps contradicting herself. Plus it's not like she forgot she said all of this. It's like she erased it and made up her own little story about how it was meant to happen. When really, if it was planned she never would have said this in an interview.

(SPOILER)Quite frankly, anything in this book that has to be marked as a spoiler, just sucked. I didn't like that Bella had a baby, and I don't like who Jacob imprinted on. I personally would have found the story 10 times more interesting if Jacob had imprinted on Bella after she turned into a vampire. (That would certainly spice up the story, wouldn't it?) I also do not like the fact that it had this "Happily ever after" ending, with no deaths to any important characters.



Team Edward, by the way.

Also, the Twilight movie trailer. YouTube - Twilight Teaser Trailer 2
Yeah, I didn't see any change at all. I just saw Bella go from actually acting like herself to being a totally different person. And I don't mean because of her (SPOILER)pregnancy. She was different before that. She was still whiny, just a different kind of whiny.

And don't even get me started about the (SPOILER)Volturi. They're supposed to be the tough rule of the vampire world and they left without a fight? I refuse to believe that this would actually happen. I want my fight. It's just not fair how Bella got her soulmate, a child, and her amazing family without having to sacrifice a thing. Happy endings are just not my style.
