You are right ^. In the first part of Breaking Dawn, Edward has no idea of what type of creature he and Bella created. Edward fears the unborn creature could possibly be evil...and he thinks the child will kill Bella. He thinks this because he read old folklore about possible hybrids between human and vampire. The folklore said that the resulting hybrid would kill its mother as it's born because is literally chews its way out. Also in this part of the novel, the baby is kicking inside Bella and breaking her bones. But, once Edward is able to read the baby's mind...he changes and sides with Bella to keep the baby.
