something in BD bothering me (spoiler)

mmremshard

why couldn't Alice see that Bella was going to get pregnant? i'm not done the book yet, so maybe they'll address it, but that's really bothering me and i just had to ask.

i know they said she can't see bella because of the fetus, but you'd think she'd see the "before".

That is a good point because it still does happen to Bella and everyone knows they were going to get it on...the?decision?was already made so the outcome should have been able to be predicted.?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

I always just thought it was because of what the fetus was. She cant see the before of the wolves either... Therefor she cannot see anything dealing with the fetus before or after.

Before what?

I think she does see it but its too late by that time. When bella calls carlisle, doesn't he already know whats going on or at least that something is happening...? If I remember right...she has to explain the "feelings" shes been having though because alice can't see it at that point... I may be wrong but thats kind of what I remember about it.

I'm not sure exactly what you have read, so I don't want to spoil it.. but they do say why she can't see 'the fetus'

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

yes, but bella getting pregnant wasn't necessarily a definite thing. the sperm and egg may or may not have met up and attached and all that good stuff. She probably didn't see it until that happened.

Good point, I agree :-)

I also think it was implied that she wasn't "focused" on them to sort of give them their privacy while they were on their honeymoon.

maybe because it happened to quick..or she was not atuned to her..in past books she said that if she is not atuned to some one she cant see it

maybe she didnt want to atune her self to B & E when they were getting it on???  lol

My understanding was that Bella went all fuzzy in Alice's futurevision, and she called them bc she was super confused by not being able to see Bella clearly anymore. It probably was a few days late bc she was giving them some privacy.

interesting. i've read that she couldn't see the fetus, and therefore doesn't know about bella's future anymore.

i guess i see your point, it just still doesnt make sense to me. but i guess making sense of vampires with powers and humans pregnant with demon babies is sort of a fruitless effort to begin with...:)

hmmmm for some reason I always thought she saw Edward trying to abort the baby, and that's why she called

I didn't read teh responses before I wrote this, so sorry if it is a repeat.

Alice couldn't see the baby because of what it was first off, and second, she can see the path people are on once they make a decision, I am not sure that Edward and Bella made the decision to have a baby, just to have sex.  She finally did see it when Bella realized she was pregnant, therefore she had that in her mind at that time.   Make sense?
