How can vampires have babies

This was a very different spin as well. In Van Helsing, the vampires created a nest of eggs where the new vampires would eventually hatch. They were created by two vampires mating together. This was the first time we saw anything like this before.

There are no references to this type of vampire birth in folklore. One of the most popular recent vampire born babies happened in Twilight and it caused quite the controversy. During an interview while on tour promoting her billion-dollar empire, she had this to say about the Cullens:. They do sort of have saliva—the venom makes their mouths wet, at least. When they drink blood, it runs through their body and makes them strong. Dhampirs are semi-immortal which makes them interesting.

Vampires live forever, but this race can die from battle. Two famous Dhampirs are Blade — who aims to rid the world of evil vampires and was portrayed by actor Wesley Snipes — and Alucard — the antagonist of the Castlevania series. While not as popular as the first two examples, if you are interested in this topic, I highly encourage you to read this series. But the most popular dhampir to date is most certainly Renesmee Carlie Cullen. She is the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Is there any folklore record of vampires mating with humans? You might also see terms such as: vampirovic vampirdzhiya svetocher Dhampirica girl glog Dhampiraj Vampir boy Vampirica girl Each of these represent descendants of human and vampire parents and are all different ways of saying Dhampir.

IMDB However, in recent times, books like Vampire Academy positioned the Dhampir as guardians to the vampire race from the unruly strigori.

Van Helsing This was a very different spin as well. Related Questions: Can Dhampirs die? Who are some famous Dhampirs? Understanding Psi, Sang, And Hybrids. Aug 22, PM. I had a thought today while reading.

I guess this is the best board to post it since it has to do with vampires having babies. SM stated in an interview that if a female who was pregnant was turned into a vampire, she would basically be pregnant forever because of the whole body freezing in time thing.

I guess the unborn baby would be frozen as well. So, what if that child happens to be part vampire? It was said that the unborn child literally chewed its way out of the mother's body.

The membrane surrounding the baby is as strong as a vampires skin. Nothing can break it except vampire teeth which the baby has. So, if Bella were bitten before the baby was out, could Renesmee still have 'chewed' her way out?

Kind-of a 'way out there' thought. I'm still trying to understand how the trauma of carrying the child and giving birth didn't kill Bella. Women throughout history have died from far less trauma than what Bella experienced. The entire thing will boggle me forever, fiction or not. Well she did get killed Technically being a vampire is being the scientifically-incorrect dead.

No, I mean how did she even live long enough to get to that part? Also, when baby started breaking her spine Honestly, Meyer's explanations are so contradictary, it's a wonder no one's losing brain cells. First she says that a pregnant woman who is turned would be pregnant forever and vampires don't change at ALL from the state they were in before the change, which is why Alice's hair doesn't grow, and yet the venom "heals" all damage, which definitely qualifies as major change especially considering the broken and bleeding state some people are in before hand.

That's is extremely right. Another huge inconsistency on her part. That's very true as well. I'm sitting on the fence for this debate. Jess The writing is so mangled and Meyer's character descriptions so contradictory, finding something wrong isn't as difficult as you'd like to believe.

Which is why people are talking about it, and that's the point of having a discussion post. If you don't want to talk about it, you are more than welcome to find a discussion that praises the book and refuses to acknowledge that there's anything wrong with it. The fact is that people find this book lacking, and insulting them isn't going to change that.

Kara Well, at least you tried. Aug 23, PM. Okay, I find it ridiculous that over thousands of years either no vampire has ever masturbated, or they didn't care to study the sperm that would appear from such an act.

You'd think they'd be curious especially with Carlisle, the doctor, who you would assume has done a little research in this area, no? Sadie I think this is more of an issue of Meyer's squeamishness than anything.

I don't see her putting a study on sperm and masturbation in her books. Aug 24, AM. Toni Haha, I don't think she'd address it so directly in a book. My point is, they'd know pregnancy to be possible.

May 03, PM. Nov 14, PM. Regarding message 1: Her quote says they don't have "their own blood", but when they feed the blood flows through them. This would allow them to get an erection. There are vampire books from the early eighties that discuss this very thing. Vampires that cannot have sex with their human mates until after they have fed as they have no blood of their own to get an erection.

There have been legends around for centuries about vampires having sex with human women and impregnating them. Stephanie Meyers talks about that in her books. During the honeymoon after Bella realizes she is pregnant Edward talks to the house keeper about it.

Then as the family is doing research in South America, Alice comes back with a Women and her nephew who had a vampire father.

All of this is based on legends that have been around for hundreds of years. Stephanie apparently did some research for her books. She didn't just make it all up. Also, regarding vampires not knowing it was possible or Carlisle being a doctor never researching it.

It is stated in the book that they never had any reason to research it. Carlisle spent most of his life as a vampire with the Volturi, remember. They were hiding what they were doing from the Volturi and other vampires. So it is very possible that they would not have known this a possibility.

But the incubus and succubus were said to be very sexual in legend; tying bloodlust and sex very close to one another, so vampires being passionate is not farfetched. And again, I've been reading vampire books for over 25 years. This is not new fiction or information. I think what was cool is that nobody thought it was possible for Bella to get pregnant not even Edward so they were just doing it for the act of doing it , just for the sake of making their relationship offical so I think Meyers covered any reader thoughts about how could this happen because she made it seem like it was impossible which gave it that element of surprise.

I loved it! Kara wrote: " Toni: I know this is a bit late, but I'm up to the chapter where Bella avoids the human blood I figured out what I'm about to say while at school but like.

On the other hand, folklore does hold legends of vampires impregnating humans, and from this impregnation, Dhampirs are born. So in a sense, yes vampires can actually have babies, but this would usually be through a male vampire impregnating a female human, from which a hybrid creature will be born, known as a dhampir.

This is a question that often gets mixed answers, as there are movies, modern books, and television shows that feature vampires falling pregnant. This can be put down to the writers using their creative license to make this storyline their own, no matter if it is true to vampire folklore or not.

Vampires should not be able to become pregnant. Vampires have an undead nature and do not have blood flowing through their veins, and other bodily fluids, that normal humans do. This leads to a lack of fertility, which is the first building block of pregnancy.

Without being fertile, a female vampire will not become pregnant, no matter if she has fallen pregnant by another vampire, or even a fertile human male. A female vampire body cannot support conception. If by some miracle a female vampire does happen to fall pregnant, her body actually supporting life is the next obstacle.

Without blood flowing through her veins, or her eating a healthy diet of fruit and vegetables, there is no way a fetus will be given the nutrients and care it needs to actually grow. Yes, one could argue that it is not a normal human baby and that vampire babies possible grow differently to human babies, but there is still not enough for a vampire female to give her growing baby. The other problem is that male vampires should not necessarily be able to impregnate female vampires, as they should technically be infertile as well, being undead and not having the same bodily functions as a human male.

Outside of modern television and stories, there is not much folklore surrounding vampires falling pregnant, it has always just been accepted as something that does not happen.

There would be too many loopholes for us to poke through, and it just would not make sense. So this is where it gets a little more interesting, and where stories of vampires and humans having babies are indeed backed by folklore.

Dhampirs are hybrid creatures that are born from a human and a vampire. They are created when a male vampire impregnates a female human, and are quite rare. They are born from pregnancy and are very different from what a traditional vampire is, as they do not arise from a corrupt dead, or from a human being bitten.

Due to this, they tend to have their own legends and lore very separate to the rules and myths that vampires have. The creation and birth of a dhampir are said to be very rare , as vampires are generally considered to be infertile, due to their undead nature. However, it can happen once in a blue moon.
