Also in the movie or the book the Cullen family goes to collect more vampires which lives in different parts of the world. This is a spoiler because it is very important to watch the previous movies or read the books if you want to know what happened in this current book or movie. This all happens in the Breaking Dawn Part:1. The vampire girl was really strong so she Bella was getting weaker and weaker by the day before her delivery.
