I always thought egg-laying was more convenient for the female, instead of nine months of carrying, I guess there's more risk of it breaking, but so can someone have a miscarriage. I wonder which it is ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Here's the thing, eggs don't grow, so in order for a fetus to grow into a full baby inside of one the egg would have to be already the size of the full-grown baby.
The problem is that eggs are laid regardless of if it's fertilized or not, ao it would be far, FAR worse for human women if we laid eggs because it would mean going through pseudo-pregnancy and pushing out a full sized egg every menstrual cycle, so about once a month if we assume that it were to remain unchanged.
