I've watched all the Godzilla movies multiple times and the only one I recall any egg laying in was the American one from 1998. He adopted had adopted one in the Toho movies but didn't lay it.
I felt like I remember it happening more times 🤔
After a minute of research I'm inclined to believe Godzilla egg-laying only happened in Roland Emmerich's 1998 film.
Here is some contemporary reporting about it: https://www.chicagotribune.com/1998/05/19/godzilla-lays-an-egg-does-this-surprise-you/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4YFaCFGoM This video covers the various eggs in the Godzilla franchise. Most of them are Mothra but it has the ones that from Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, and the Roland Emmerich movie, which lines up with with I remembered. The origins of the Son of Godzilla and Mechagodzilla II ones are not stated but it's never implied that he laid them.
