Book 2 ends with Bella in a near-death state after giving birth to her daughter. This fulfills the vision Bella had in the preface of someone she loved (the baby) killing her. Since she is about to die, she must be transformed into a vampire. Edward bit her all over her body, but the reader still doesnt know if she will survive. Book 3 begins when Bella wakes up and notices everything with her new hyper-perceptive vampire senses. She describes the pain of being transformed.
From the very beginning of the series Bella has had two unusual characteristics: first, she is repulsed by blood (passed out when blood typing in Twilight) and second, she can withstand the other vampire's super powers. I think Meyer used these specific characteristics to foreshadow or use later in the series (now). Newborn vampires are known for being extremely thirsty and uncontrollable, so Meyer made Bella squeamish around blood to hint that she would make a smooth transition from human to vampire.
