How long was bella swan pregnant

How did Emmett Cullen die? When Rosalie came across him, Emmett was being mauled by a black bear in the mountains of Tennessee. He had nearly died from the attack, but Rosalie saved him and carried him over a hundred miles back to Carlisle. What does Bella mean? Bella is a female name. It is a diminutive form of names ending in -bella.

Bella is related to the Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Latin words for beautiful, to the name Belle, meaning beautiful in French. Did Renesmee turn Bella? Twilight: Edward didn't turn Bella. The quick and simple of it is this: When Renesmee is born and first handed to Bella, you hear a quick "crunch" just before they take the baby away, implying that the baby bit Bella. Does Jacob marry Bella's daughter?

So naturally, Jacob imprints on Edward and Bella's baby daughter, Renesmee. Why is Bella's daughter weird? It's too bad that they wasted the money on the creepy creature, however, because after filming it they realized it was way too disturbing to use in the film. Who's the oldest vampire in Twilight? The Romanian coven is one of the oldest vampire covens in existence.

External forces, at least, can be identified, fought against, and reviled. In Game of Thrones , Dany lives in a world with limited options, and escapes only by sacrificing her fertility and transforming into a super-human creature.

In Twilight , Bella proves her worthiness and nobility by sacrificing her life for her unborn child. The very parameters of the narratives they work within limit their choices, their battles, and the routes that lead to their supposed triumphs.

Sign up for the Weekly Reader:. Is Dany really barren, though? I didn't see that explained anywhere in the television storyline. I haven't read the books, so I cannot confirm this with that source, but the Game of Thrones wiki does not seem to mention it either. If she's not, I'm not sure the argument fits her.

But even if she is barren, I still don't think the argument fits. She is nothing like Bella in trading her fertility for power. I see the three dragon hatchlings as an extension of her power AND fertility. Remember, this is a mythical place, so this extension isn't so far fetched. I haven't seen the latest Twilight film, and I gave up on reading the books somewhere around book three, so I can't really comment on that, but I have read A Song of Ice and Fire and watched the show religiously and I disagree with some of the points you made.

Now, while I do agree that pop culture often presents women with the "choice" between power and what is traditionally considered "womanhood" marriage, child rearing, reproductive ability and all those 'womanly' things , I don't think that Daenarys really fits that stereotype. The witch tricked her into thinking that she was going to sacrifice the horse.

And furthermore, in the books, it's not really clear whether the witch actually wanted to kill her baby, she does at some point state that "the stallion who will mount the world Dany's son, long story will trample no nations into dust", but the witch's intent was made explicit in the tv show.

In the book, the witch tells Dany that, under no circumstance, is she to enter the tent where the magic is being performed because it might harm her and her baby.

When the fighting breaks out, in the show, she is carried into the tent by ser Jorah, when she goes into labor, I think that it's the same in the book. The point is, the witch's position is not clear, not really, and from the book, we can't tell whether she harmed the baby on purpose or not, just that, ultimately, she's not sorry about it. That said, I believe that it can be claimed that Daenerys is a feminist character, or rather that she is growing into a feminist character. The world she inhabits is patriarchal like our own, and to boot, her family is endogamous and habitually marries brothers to sisters.

She starts out as a little orphan girl in the books she's 13 who has no one except her crazy brother and a bunch of older men deciding her fate. When she gets married off to Khal Drogo, her journey begins. For some reason, the TV show completely pissed on the relationship between her and Drogo and on her own development as a powerful woman.

But the point is, that she gains her initial power by being married to a powerful man, but that power sticks, and she learns from it, and considering that she is a teenage girl on the show she's 16 , that is no easy feat. The point is, that although she has been rendered barren by the witch although this is debatable, and might not be true , her rise to power did not begin with her CHOICE to sacrifice her fertility or her life.

Now, I'm not saying that this isn't problematic, but when viewed in the context of the imaginary world where the story takes place, Dany's choices, dilemmas and actions after the birth of her dragons are transforming her into a feminist character. I just hope that this is better dealt with on the show than her relationships with her brother and husband were.

And, and I believe that this has to be pointed out, the thing is that most characters in this universe who have any kind of power have had to sacrifice something major to get it, or were propelled, like Dany, by circumstances which left them bereft of something that was important to them.

The narrative is very complex and, sadly, the show can't fit everything in, but I believe that saying that Daenerys Targaryen is anything like Bella Swan is oversimplifying her Dany's story. I completely agree. When I used the word "choice", I was only implying that she didn't choose to sacrifice her "womanhood" for lack of a better term.

But this is a larger issue really. A couple of months back I read an article, for the life of me I can't remember where or by whom, which was aimed at the Harry Potter franchise, but it was satire, written in the form of praise for the Hermione Granger series by Joan Rowling.

What the article did, among other things, was to effectively point out how the Harry Potter series relied heavily notions of 'fate', 'destiny' and dubious genetic predispositions for heroism. I believe that this is a big problem for most fiction today. Buffy, which is a show I really like, is a prime example of this. It's Buffy's "genetic" destiny to be the slayer. Now, she rises above and beyond this, but the bottom line is that she, as a woman, was endowed with the power she has, by a bunch of men.

This is the same trope which dictates that the powerpuff girls have no mother, they were created by a man, but, what I'd like to focus on here is the notion of 'destiny'. I'm sick of genetic superheroes who protect the world because "with great power comes great responsibility" or whatever. I'm sick of people being thrown by fate and Dany is an example of this into protecting everybody.

We need more heroes like that. Ordinary people without any superpowers, just deciding that they're going to save the day, because who else will? Dany being barren is still up for debate. First there is no proof that which is actually telling the truth, the reader can choose to believe her or not. Being fertile and your womb 'quickening' are not necessarily the same thing. We never have any proof that she is infertile other than her own assumption, which was unable to be proved otherwise until she started becoming sexually active again in books, which was only recently.

Also there are people who think that Dany has been fertile all along and has actually had a miscarriage possibly induced by eating poisonous berries at the end of a Dance with Dragons. Though it is up for debate. Also all the things that the witch listed may have come true, depending on how you want to interoperate them.

In , Stephenie Meyer introduced readers to a world where humans, vampires, and werewolves coexist in Twilight , the first in a series of four novels that chronicled the problematic romance between vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan, with werewolf Jacob Black in between.

As vampires are undead creatures, no fluids run through their bodies, so it would be physically impossible for one to get pregnant or get someone else pregnant. It would be especially impossible in the Twilight universe given that the skin of vampires is described as hard as stone, and even having sex with Bella was dangerous as Edward could unintentionally kill her.

Their bodies, then, can react to certain emotions and sensations like a human body, and that includes reactions of arousal.
