fantastical speculation inbound..

dragon ball super(o) recently made me think that in a world where teleportation is possible we could just teleport the baby out of the womb, avoiding the pain of labor

of course there is still the hardships of carrying the child, and who knows what kind of havoc such a sudden event would cause to the mother's hormones

how much of the bodily functions associated with labor are evolutionarily built in necessities of human reproduction? do cesarean births have any hormonal consequences differing from vaginal birth?
