Science Fiction/Teleportation/Interplanetary Travel?

Hello I read this book many years ago(maybe 5) and I was too young to fully understand the meaning behind it and cannot stop thinking about it so I wanted to read it again. I can only remember a few things about it. It is a science fiction book, and the one scene I can clearly remember is that a pregnant woman gets teleported (I believe) to another planet and gives birth to a child. There is a device that was created that allows people to teleport, and I believe the main character is traveling in some sort of space craft/air balloon? through space between planets with a couple other characters. Sorry this sounds so jumbled and confusing but I am trying to give all of the little info I have on the book. Please let me know if you can figure out the book! This would make my year!

The first half of your description kind of sounds like Mindbridge by Joe Haldeman. The second half, not so much. Good luck.

Hello pjfarm, that isn't the book I am looking for but thank you for trying. Sounds interesting, I might give it a read. Thanks :)

Any chance it might be The Long Earth?

>4 Marissa_Doyle: It sounds like Terry Pratchett's The Long Earth to me. Spoilers ahead.
A bunch of parallel alternate realities, but only our earth has humans. A few can "step" unaided. An early scene has a pregnant woman step one earth over, give birth in an open savanna, and step back before a large feline gets too close.
Then an inventor creates a simple device anyone can build and most people can step with.
Much later, a crew of two travel in one direction from one earth to another with a special balloon that can step.
They find a parallel reality where there is no planet earth where space travel is easier because of no gravitational pull.

>4 Marissa_Doyle: Yes this is the book! Omg thank you so much! This made my day, I cannot stop smiling!
