Saw the film and that specific birth scene did not show any graphic details, but for the baby who was being held in their arms which would be like any child after he or she is born born and not yet cleansed. A beautiful child.
The mother had chosen to have the child and not abort, no matter if her life was at stake, as the child was developing faster and at the same time larger than usual. It had a pro life message.
Perhaps the sipping blood through a straw caused the reaction of the person in the story--after all we are talking vampires etc here.
The loss of weight by the mother near the end was really realistic [special effects] in regard to more the skeletal arms effect.
It's a general audience movie where pro-life issues were discussed but of course no one is going to write about that. Also they chose to refrain from having sex til after the marriage. But no one chose to write about that. ;)

Um, it was photosensitive epilepsy. The flashing colors did it.
I gather you’re a Twilight fan,
